I was beginning to worry about the absence of Brown Thrasher from my yard, but here he is at last this morning!
Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 while heading over to Abbott's Loop with my dogs, I spotted a Red-shouldered Hawk in the little spruce swamp at the corner of Station Road and Bald Hill Road. Not an unusual bird in the Danby State Forest, but memorable because the sky was so gray that the hawk seemed to be in flames, the brightest thing anywhere to be seen. -Geo Kloppel -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
