  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.)
