Hi all,
I had a couple of real weird birds this week. The first was one day as I was
walking back to my car in downtown Minneapolis. I saw and heard these
"blackbirds" that sound really strange. They looked like Common Grackles, but
they didn't sound like it. My guess is they were just Common Grackles.
On Wednesday, I was on 55 just west of Hastings, when I saw a hawk perched on a
telephone pole. It looked bigger than a Red-tailed, didn't have a belly band
and lacked the "hood", ie it was whitish underneath its bill. It was also
perched unlike a Red-tailed. When I got home, I looked in a field guide, and
the best I could come up with was a Ferruginous? However, I see that would be
out of range. Anyone have any guesses as to what it could be?
Good birding,
Richard,
Hastings, MN
