Hi Folks,
I could use some help with 3 recent mystery calls.
(1) Sunday (yesterday) morning I went to Trevor Rd to look for the
Red Crossbills that Kevin P. found. I did not see them, but in the
same spot as Kevin, did pish and a bird called numerous times from
medium-high in the trees, and
I'm betting a House Finch--sounds like a more typical nest spot for them.
But what a joy--would love to have them on my porch!!!

I thought that with Covid-19 restrictions all
dogs are supposed to be on leashes when out of
the house (I assume out of one's yard). A dog
rushing up to someone else can carry virus to
them (albeit this is a low risk), so it is even
more irresponsible to have an unleashed dog in public right
).

different that they would produce such
different shapes. And some owls migrate (saw-whet), whereas others do
not (Eastern Screech-Owl), yet their eggs are a similar shape, quite
spherical. Why? They both nest in holes. I still like the older
theories. But maybe that's because I'm old.
