When I left Cortez for home this afternoon (ahead of the impending storm), I made it about fifty yards and had to stop for a bird sighting. There was a partially leucistic American robin in my sister's front yard (Second and Market in Cortez, yards on each corner are visible from the street). The only other one of these I have personally observed was in western Washington more than twenty years ago, in a flock of hundreds in a pasture in early spring, and a couple hundred yards away. This one, however, was alone in the yard and posed for lots of pictures in the reasonably lousy overcast light. I put up several photos at www.photobucket.com/paoniabirds Dad and I also found another bald eagle nest with sitting birds, just east of Totten. A single common grackle was in a tree in a yard near the cemetery south of Arriola as well. No idea where the other 150 or so are.
