Hi all! zzzzzzzzzzzz. I'm still bushed after the move this weekend. I had *WAY* more stuff than I realized (too many bird books and magazines <grin>). Ooof. Unfortunately, I did not make it out to look for SHORT-EARED OWL :-< On the plus side, I got to start my "yard" list with the following: Northern Gannet (one fly-by) Lesser Scaup Bufflehead Osprey (building a nest on a marker in my "yard") Ring-billed Gull Cedar Waxwing Eastern Bluebird Brown Thrasher Carolina Wren White-throated Sparrow Song Sparrow Blue Jay Northern Cardinal Tufted Titmouse Carolina Chickadee Red-winged Blackbird House Finch American Goldfinch Red-bellied Woodpecker Pine Warbler As you can guess, I finally made it to some water....ahhhhh.
