The Prairie's Edge Wildlife Drive at Sherburne NWR will close to visitors on December 31, or sooner if we get snow. It's been very quiet out there, bird-wise. Less than 10 total species recorded yesterday, including American tree sparrow, golden-crowned kinglet, bald eagles, rough-legged and red-tailed hawks, and the three birds mentioned in the next paragraph.
I have a question ... If a single wild turkey, a single downy woodpecker and a single common redpoll are all foraging within 20 feet of each other, is this considered a "feeding flock"?
