We had a fun entertaining morning of birding despite cloudy windy conditions at Westwood hills nature center!! 52 species were seen including a noisey Virginia rail which gave us 5 minutes of good views, and a Red Tailed hawk sitting on a branch being harrassed by a pair of Northern Orioles and hardly moving a feather while they dive bombed him! Also pileated WP,Olive sided Flycatcher, Willow Flycatcher, and a pair of Blue winged teal. At the New beautiful pond at the center bldg a pair of Mallards entertained us in the courtship by the male dunking the hen under water etc! Lol! Thx to Tom,Bill,Ann judy, Ruth and Cindy for sharing a great AM of birding! Also Good Day Cafe for the Goodies and the staff of WW hills for their hospitality!! Vic Lewis Back for the summer!!
