Sorry so late. My husband and I did our "Monthly Day in our Tower" on Monday and we were joined by a fellow birding friend of ours, Bernice Hall. We were out for 13 1/2 hrs and seen 52 species. We had a FOY Tree Swallow, Great Egret, Brown-headed Cowbird & Ring-necked Duck. Lots of Tundra Swans flying over. We could see there are a lot of GB Herons & DC Cormorants on the islands on Pigeon Lake, plus some Pelicans and Gulls. Had some Snow & Greater White-fronted Geese fly over also. Here are the species. American Robin, RN Pheasant, DE Junco, Canadians, Snow Goose, Cardinal, M Dove, Barred Owl, WB Nuthatch, Am Crow, RW Blackbird, BC Chickadee, Cormorant, C Grackle, B Jay, C Waxwing, B Eagle, Wood Duck, GBHeron, W Turkey, Downy, Fox Sparrow (over wintered), Am Goldfinch, Brown Creeper, Red-bellied WP, Rock Pigeon, RB Gull, Hairy, Starling, Tree Swallow, GWF Goose, Killdeer, Tundra Swan, Pelican, Mallard, Brown-headed Cowbird, Sandhill Crane (landed in the cattails where they were last year), N Flicker, House Finch, Pileated, Golden Eagle, TV, Red-tail Hawk, Coopers Hawk, Rusty Blackbird, Great Egret, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Am Kestrel, Tree Sparrow, N Harrier, Purple Finch, Ring-necked Duck. We had a good day, the wind was a little more than we would have liked, but the birds were flying through. Paul just noticed a Sandhill Crane in the field to the south of us.
