Hi all,
Talking about Fox Sparrow, there are several reports of Fox Sparrows in the
Northeast. Mild winter to blame I guess. I have not looked at ebird
distributions. Also several reports of Grey Catbirds too. At least some of them
have gone where they are supposed to be i.e. in Yucatan.

Thanks for posting and sharing, Mark.
As much as I would like to think birds like me as much as I like them, and
hence they want to get as close to me as possible, now I see this was a
hectic survival moment I biked into. I was laughing by the surprise of it

Myers. While missing the duck, I did find four White-winged Scoters close-in at
Ladoga (two males, two females), one Double-crested Cormorant, one Pied-billed
Grebe, and a distant Common Loon (plus Common Goldeneye and Me
Just saw my first Mockingbird of the year in its usual area near the top of
the hill on Burns Road in Brooktondale. Also heard my first Cardinal song

One of the neat things about birding with others is our varied experiences and

yesterday with the gang:
First, on my way to join the others b
