Just a quickie...two days ago around Sherburne NWR I came across, in two = different locations, vesper sparrows singing away and acting very = tame...or tired. One was directly across from my car window, singing = relentlessly a few feet away. I made the mistake I always do at the = start of spring and first thought it was a song sparrow. Later, I came = across another vesper singing away and hopping down to the edge of the = dirt road, staying there as I drove right next to it. Very tame. It = wanted its dirt. This morning I was awakened to the shriekings of one or more = broad-tailed hawks, around 6 AM. Shriek shriek shriek, over a couple of = minutes that seemed much longer, tho I was happy to hear it/them at the = same time.
