Larry and all.
I, too, spotted a Great Blue during our weekly raptor survey at the
Montezuma NWR yesterday. I asked it if it wanted to borrow my compass,
but it politely said no, it had learned how to both orient AND navigate
a few seasons back. (smile)
It WAS a pleasure to see one at this late date.
Happy Holidays to each of you!!

On a walk around Upper Buttermilk yesterday afternoon I was surprised
to see a GREAT BLUE HERON lift off and fly upstream from the marshy
area at Lake Treman. Don't see how it could find sufficient food
there to survive, much less just keep warm. Selfishly it would be nice
to have it stick around for the Xmas Bird Count, but I would much
prefer that it fly farther south where there is a much better source
of food.
The only other birds seen were a flock of ROCK DOVE and a loudly
calling PILEATED WOODPECKER.
