Hi all, I was in Highland Forest yesterday. Surprisingly very few birds were out there. I covered a trail of 5.6+ miles. Only species I heard or saw were -one very beautiful dark phased ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK, a pair of Golden Crowned Kinglets, three Blue Jays and a few chickadees.
At home, today morning the Cardinal was clearing his throat going pip pip pip ppp, in anticipation to sing soon. Tufted Titmouse was doing tee u tee u tee u (or may be see u), crows were claiming their territories when the Red-tailed Hawk circled overhead. Sounded springy. All this month so far I have not heard or seen any American Goldfinches. Are they around? I have not seen anyone report them either, especially those who write all sightings or is it that AMGOs are not considered worth a species to be reported. I am missing them.
