Here are 3 pictures of the first bird I saw in Union County Thursday as promised. The wear in this bird is not as extreme as the one photographed near Reelfoot nor are the feathers wet, but it was the first one I saw and displays a pretty typical amount of wear in the head for (eastern) borealis Red-taileds in August. http://216.26.174.155/images/bird/rtha1.jpg http://216.26.174.155/images/bird/rtha2.jpg http://216.26.174.155/images/bird/rtha3.jpg Mark Monroe __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
