Hi all, 
 On Saturday afternoon my daughter and I were listening to the local  mocker 
going through his repertoire, trying to identify his various songs. We  heard 
him do a towhee and wondered why we hadn't heard a towhee from our  property. 
Well yesterday early morning I was out with a cup of coffee and I  heard a 
towhee singing from the far corner of our new place! Number 46 I think. 
 
And late yesterday early evening, we were outside playing badminton, when I  
saw off in the distance what I first thought was a crow, but I looked at it  
again, and mentioned that it didn't look like a crow. The bird disappeared for 
a  time behind some trees before it flew right over our heads, soaring and 
flapping  to the NE. A COMMON RAVEN!! This is not only a new yard bird, but the 
first bird  on my yard list which was not on my yard list in Ashton, making it 
doubly  special. We are not too far from the Sugarloaf area, as the raven 
flies, so I  suppose it could be from that population.
 
Keep looking up...
