I was fortunate enough to see and photograph the Mountain Bluebird this morning around 10:30 AM at the Haunted House along Rt. 25A. In addition to this bird, I saw 2 Kestrels, 2 Red-tailed Hawks, 2 Eastern Bluebirds, 2 Red-tailed Hawks and a flock of Eastern Meadowlarks at EPCAL. A quick trip to the North Fork Preserve also held a Red-tailed Hawk and a Cooper's Hawk that was intent on chasing it. Photos of the birds can be seen here...
