I also saw the Pied-billed Grebe today, and thought it quite odd as well.
It was my first campus grebe! It was also nice enough to stay close to the
edge of Beebe, for some semi-decent pictures. The Common Merganser seems to
have found a friend also, as there will two of them today. Also, it's

There are two juvenile Rose-breasted Grosbeaks at my feeders right now.

Bird suddenly reappeared at 1730 (2.5 hrs. after last sighting). The two
remaining observers (no names will be mentioned) were chatting and facing

noon. I was looking down at the ground, as I started up the hill on the

was startled to see a juvenile RED-TAILED HAWK flying up from the ground

There have been as many as 62 TUVU at the compost piles (40+ regularly)

They perch on available fences, gather in groups in fields N and E of the piles

Looks like a big movement of Pine Siskins occurred in the last few

had single birds or pairs over Sapsucker Woods and near the airport
this morning and others have been reporting them around as well.

Ken Rosenberg heard and saw the Marsh Wren again this morning in the
cattails by the staff entrance at the Lab (at the northeast corner of the
building). It seems to calling less now (an hour after Ken had it), but
it's still there.

A flock of Pine Siskins landed briefly at the top of a tall willow in my yard a

dozen or so.
