The wind and the rain and the cold and the wet did not slow down the boys at
all for their first birdathon. We had a number of highlights that made them
start talking about next year all ready. The Sharptail grouse and Sandhill
crane were just a couple, but the warblers really got to Hazen (12). The
expletive he used when he saw his first Redstart helped me see he was really enjoying
this cold day. I wonder what he would have said had the bird been in the
bright noonday sun. Hudson (9) enjoyed the shorebirds and the Coot "catching
flight" right next to us. (I'm a bit worried about that boy.) All three of us
had a great day which was topped off with the Piping Plovers and Red throated
Loon -- thanks to John, Bob, Jake and Ben for the tip. For me it was the wave
of Bay-breasted warblers that surrounded us for about 5 minutes when the rain
let up for a spell. I take that back... did I tell you I spent the day birding
with my boys?...
