Morning at LB (joined by Dave Czaplak and Mary Ann Todd for part
of the time) and afternoon at HH. Highlights were FOS Rusty
Blackbirds, Purple Finches, and White-crowned Sparrows at both
locations, and 4 Common Ravens harrassing a Bald Eagle at HH.
There were a lot of soaring birds passing over HH. One young
Sharp-shinned took a long dive at an Eastern Phoebe but missed.
Wonder if it was attracted by the tail wagging. (Wish they would
figure out what the evolutionary advantage of that behavior is;
certainly seems baffling! I know some graduate students are
working on it.)
