Just a few moments ago two Sharp-shinned hawks were being chased from over
BTI to USDA building and they circled and flew towards Vet school and
disappeared.
I also see lots of small birds, look like Blackbirds heading south.
Will check Beebee lake at lunch time to see if any pied billed

At about 9:45am this morning I noticed an (immature?) GBHERON
foraging in the field at the SW corner of GameFarm Rd and Rte 366
intersection.
This seems a little out-of-place and late in the season!
On another note, yesterday we heard the loud cheery songs of a
CAROLINA WREN once more in our

This is about the time when great blue herons abandon somewhat their
traditional frog hunting, as the frogs are headed into the mud. I saw 2 GBH
yesterday foraging in hay fields. They are after Microtus p.(a vole). A

Pied-billed Grebe (only 5)

While writing down some notes, my colleague and I observed 25+ TVS gaining
thermals and one Peregrine heading south west. Another three of TVs are
circling in front of me. Two more joined this group. No BVs' in them yet!

Speculation was the bird was well over 20 years old. I last saw it in an
unusual spot, but not far from its normal hunting ground. Other than having
seen it roughly every two weeks since 2000, and that it was seen with young
this last breeding season, I have nothing else, except regrets about its
A perky little Yellow-crowned Kinglet foraging in the Norway Spruce when I
arrived back home about noon. Also my mystery bird singing--a Carolina Wren.
It's fall song had me fooled again. I never expect that sound from any kind of
wren and it catches me by surprise. (Paul Anderson--that was

My daughter, Lisa, and I saw a group of 80 Turkey Vultures circling and
sitting in the snow-covered trees along Waterburg Rd, between Rt. 79 and
Aiken Rd. in Enfield, around noon today. When we passed by about 20 minutes
later, they were gone, but we encountered large groups of TVs in flight on

I just looked at my few pictures of this bird and I don't know if
the leg bands are higher, but on this particular shot, I don't see a

This morning I was trying to photograph some White-crowned and
White-throated Sparrows in the contrasting snow and autumn foliage. I
was surprised to find a Nashville Warbler in the tree near my feeders.
Here's a photo:

Is it late for this species?
It was sunny here this afternoon so I decided to try again to find a Cackling
Goose. I succeeded because I've spent a lot of time search and because I dared
to drive down the muddy towpath which is also full of potholes.Notes: The
Cackling Goose was much smaller than the Canada Geese and
