HI everyone, For the past couple of mornings, I'v e heard and seen crows harassing a noisily protesting Common Raven while they all flew over my house.
And during my afternoon walks three days in a row, I've flushed a WIlson's Snipe from an area of standing water in a field just 100 yards or so up Mt Pleasant Road from its junction with Mineah. This evening I remembered to look carefully as I approached to see if I could spot it. Indeed, there was the brownish humped form with a long bill squatting at the water's edge. But as I cautiously approached closer, I could no longer see it…had I imagined the bird, wanting so hard to get a good look at it? But then with whirring wings and a soft clucking call it took flight. Cool!
