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.
