I birded behind my house yesterday. I saw a Purple Finch,
Flicker, Golden-Crowned Kinglet, and a female Rose-
Breasted Grosbeak. There was a flock of about fifty
Robins in the woods.
Today, I saw three crows chase a Raven right over Route 13

While birding Hawthorn this morning, I decided to walk over to the grass
field just south of the playing fields and between the pig barns on Pine
