Hi all,
Nothing overly interesting, but since recently someone posted about not
seeing any shrikes around, I thought I'd bring it up.
Saw a family of 4 loggerheads at 180th just past Emery Ave, and at least
one other family of 3 + a few individuals on Emery between 160th and
180th. Also saw 3 or 4 different kestrels along Emery Ave, as well as a
family of 3 Kestrels at the Empire Substation to go along with the
Dicksissels, Grasshopper Sparrows, Clay-Colored Sparrows, and a very
obliging House Wren that sat and sang no more than 10 feet in front of
me. Pictures are on my web site.
Saturday I went out to Sherburne NWR in the morning after checking on my
house, and was able to spend some incredible time with a pair of Loons.
I watched them frolick together (mate maybe? I haven't seen loons mate
but this looked interesting to say the least), feed, sleep, and
generally enjoy their morning. They were so at ease as I sat there in
my car that one of them approached within maybe 15 feet of the shore and
let me take pictures for a good 30 minutes while it was diving, before
heading further away to join its mate again. It was a magical hour and
a half to say the least for me.
Chris
