Hello First day of 2009/10 winter bird guiding. Today was day one of three days I will spend birding with Sam Plew & 4 other birders of NE Indiana.
Day One with Sam Plew: Sax Zim Bog Highlights: 1. Great Gray Owl on McDavitt Rd about 4 miles north of Sax Rd ( CR 28 ) 2. Black-backed Woodpecker ( same spot as owl but on east side of road ) 3. Boreal Chickadee calling at the Admiral Rd feeder but never came to deer rib. ( 3.7 miles north of Cranberry Ln ) 4. White-winged Crossbills in decent flocks along McDavitt Rd, Admiral Rd and near the corner of Spruce Rd & CR 133 5. Bohemian Waxwing ( lone bird in Meadowlands ) Duluth Highlights: On the ice behind WLSSD: 1. Gr Black-backed Gull ( 2 = Adults 1 = first cycle ) 2. Iceland Gull ( 1 = 2nd cycle ) 3. Glaucous Gull ( 3 = first cycle and 1 = 2nd cycle ) Canal Park / Leif Erickson Park 1. Common Loon ( spotted by Peder Svingen who was with us part of the afternoon ) 2. Glaucous Gull ( 2nd cycle ) Stoney Point 1. American Tree Sparrow!! Coming to the feeder in front of the brick house just up the road from the brick wall or in other words the same feeder where a imm Blue Grosbeak was found last May by Kim Eckert ) I met the home owner who is extremely nice and doesn't mind birders viewing his feeder from the road. Tomorrow I'll be in Lake County.
