    Bird Watching!

    We heard exactly the same last night @cory ! This one has been hanging around for several weeks, hear it many nights, especially if we have a bedroom window slightly open. I really like it when in springtime we hear two different GHO calling back and forth to each other. Same general pattern...

    Bird Watching!

    Robins have all headed to warmer climes at this time of year, here. Be back in springtime. But we have small flocks of varied thrushes, which are similar in size and act almost the same. They usually abandon us in warmer weather, mostly but not completely. Pretty birds.

    That is a strange one. Never heard of such. Interesting, thanks @cory.

    The scarlet tanager is native to your area, John...for breeding anyway. They migrate from Central and South America.

    We have been enjoying more than the average number of Western Tanager sightings this summer. I'm especially glad of it, since it seems that for the last several years they have only been declining in numbers. They are a particularly beautiful songbird...

    That should go in the "I remember when" thread :).

    Sometimes I see a small group of flickers, but otherwise it does seem to be just a couple together and far more often solitaries.

    Bird Watching!

    We see kestrels on an almost daily basis around our place and elsewhere rural like us. They are quite beautiful.

    They are a fine bird. We see them pretty regular along the creeks and rivers hereabouts. Loud, easily recognizable call.

    Hope springs eternal. Chances are not good, I fear. People have been searching hard for a very long time; I find it hard to believe not one definitive photo has been made in all these years, if the ivory-billed really still exists.

    We hear owls with almost nightly regularity. See them at least once a month. Either screech, pigmy, great horned, barn, barred, spotted, or sparred. Owls are special, no lie.

    True, those and habitat loss.

    Bird Watching!

    Sure is. Happening with more and more of the iconic species. I only see a handful of western tanagers each year now. Used to be pretty common.

    On our daily ramble yesterday, M and I had the nice experience of seeing an owl snatch a Doug squirrel off a tree bole, then eat some of it before flying off. It was either a Spotted or a Barred...or could reasonably be the cross of the two that some call Sparred. My best guess is Spotted...

    Google tells me pileated woodpecker is 16-19 inches body length, while blue jay is 8.7 to 12 inches body length. Crow is about the same as the pileated. :P

    No way a blue jay was the size of a pileated woodpecker, or of a crow either Gary :). You need younger eyes :D.

    Indeed...well done, Nate.
