[birdky] Peabody 30 October 2008

There wasn't much bird movement apparent today on the mines but what a gorgeous 
time to be out.  

Aside from a couple of fly-over flocks of Green-winged Teal, the only waterfowl 
observed other than resident honkers was a flock of Ring-necked Ducks and a 
female American Wigeon on South Lake/Homestead.

Overall raptor numbers were also low with Bald Eagle, Northern Harrier, 
Sharp-shinned, Cooper's, Red-shouldered, and Red-tailed Hawks and American 
Kestrel present.  Red-shouldered was the most conspicuous species.

I spent a lot of time looking through sparrows with a Grasshopper Sparrow 
present along S5 on Sinclair and a Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow photographed 
at a beaver pond along Wysox Road in Ohio County.  A pair of fly-over calling 
Pine Siskins was observed during a hike into the Ken hills in Ohio County.
