Hello birders,
Today Barb and I tried to duplicate Steve Mlodinow’s epic Big Day Labor Day
at Prewitt Reservoir and Jackson Lake. Our skills and timing do not match
Steve’s, so no surprise that our results were a bit thin. However, Jackson
Lake was rewarding, lots of fairly approachable and
I stopped at Last Chance yesterday morning on my way to Prewett Reservoir, and
it was extremely birdy. I got there about 6:45 am and stayed for 45 minutes
Highlights include:
American Redstart 5
Northern Waterthrush 1
Brown Thrasher 5
Wilson Warbler 4
Yellow Warbler 2
Lark Sparrow 2
Birders,
As you may have heard, the recent 9 inch rain at Last Chance caused
flash-flooding
that played havoc with plantings and the drip irrigation system birders
installed in April. Area residents have been repairing it, but have asked
for help from birders.
*A few birders plan to meet at Last

Birders should avoid running into Dove Hunters as they tend to carry loaded
firearms. . . .
Eurasian-collared doves can be taken anytime without a license - they are
an invasive species.

Note: Eurasian-collared doves are an exotic and can be taken without limit
at any time during the year according to the current regulations - I
believe a small-game license is required.
