As mentioned earlier,<br>it was in the cedars on the west side of the road. We missed it on our<br>first pass, as the foliage was easily thick enough to hide it, but on<br>the return walk, it was out in the open on low branches, about<br>eye-height, cocking its head to choose from the plentiful blue berries<br>to eat.<br>It seemed unperturbed by our close proximity, giving us long, clear<br>looks at its prominent eye-ring, the white edging on some of its<br>feathers, the relatively lengthy tail, and the peachy-buff patches on<br>its wings. At one point it opened its beak in either an inaudible note<br>or a yawn, showing a bright pink mouth and tongue. It certainly looked<br>well-fed and relaxed.<br><br>Linda and Rob Whyte<br>_______________________________________________<br>mnbird mailing list<br>[email protected]<br>http://lists.mnbird.net/mailman/listinfo/mnbird<br>Unsubscribe: %(user_optionsurl)s<br><br>
