When I looked out the windy with bleary eyes this morning to check the weather, I wasn't giving first bird a thought. I did catch two birds simultaneously, but...
Dotty the five hours or more than up now, all I can say is that I hope your hangover isnt as nasty as mine. Cannot believe how tired I feel this morning....
You have much better birds in your yard than I do. My first heard was American Crow and first seen was the Chipping Sparrows. However, I also heard some Cedar...
I also had trouble chosing a best bird of 2007. Abbie and I saw so many beautiful and unique birds in South America this year. I going with the Magellanic ...
My first bird after getting home late from Florida last night was a Junco. Nothing new there. So far I have 10 of the regulars in my back yard. I've...
Good Morning! The first birds I saw this morning when I got up were 5 Glossy Ibis. They have been hanging around our yard a lot lately. Soon after, two...
Well, it is 10:18 and I finally had a bird venture out. It is raining cats and dogs here and no feathered friends were to be seen all morning. Finally, I heard...
After a terrific trip to Patagonia (with Sue and Ron) and a trip to Trinidad and Tobago with my sister, I find it difficult to name a best bird. Certainly all...
As the song goes (sorta), It's 12 o'clock Somewhere! Happy New Year, and good birding to all. Kathie Denise <denise0martin@...> wrote: Here in Menorca I...
Best bird is tough. I think it may have been close ups in brilliant sunlight of all 3 scoters & common eiders on Montauk with Richard, Joan, & Chuck last...
Hi Abbie, Sorry you are having rain today. It is very gray here across the state from you but no rain has fallen yet. That is interesting that mockingbird...
At Shippan Point in Stamford this morning, we watched a Great Black-backed Gull attacking a male Red-breasted Merganser. It was a little too far to see...
Nothing unexpected to see this morning but the Carolina Chickadee caught my eye as he flew from the shelf feeder; where there was a Mourning Dove. There was...
Emily, It is so good to hear from you. It is interesting that the House Sparrows have learned how to get to the suet. Did you get snow today? It was quite...
Richard, I guess gulls can be predators, but we don't usually see them attacking live birds. That was quite a sighting. It was nice you could get out for some...
Hi Kathie, I think it is so neat that several of us reported our best bird as one we saw with another member of this group. When I asked Hank for his best bird...
Dotty It was rainy and windy, but we figured that we should get out anyway. I had once seen a Great Black-backed Gull eating a Green-winged Teal, but I figured...
Not threatened - a couple of other gulls came right up to it while it was subdoing the merganser and it managed to keep them from joining in the fray. ...
I hope that the listowner will forgive me, but I am attaching an image of the Sora that we saw with Dotty and Hank. Richard/CT --Original Message Text--- From:...
Nice Sora shot. We had Soras at Patuxent River Park and also at the Meadows in Virginia. Actually Greg Kearns was doing a major research project on them I...
Thanks, Abbie I've seen Soras at a number of places but this bird was really cooperative. I looked at the time recorded on the images I took and it was posing...
Dotty.. gulls attack young ducklings, I've seen them wipe out six in one swoop. Leaving mother and father swimming round in circles. Last summer DENISE.. ...
Denise The Red-breasted Merganser is larger than a duckling - about 27 inches long - just a little smaller than a Goosander. Richard/CT --Original Message...
