Thirteen birders enjoyed beautiful weather yesterday on the KOS/Beckham field
trip to Peabody yesterday in Ohio and Muhlenberg counties. 65 species were
seen/heard.
Highlights were:
12 sandhill cranes low overhead
hovering dark-phased rough-legged hawk hunting over a field
numerous northern harriers
an adult Kriders/calarus intergrade red-tail hawk
flyover lapland longspur
thousands of blackbirds in a field including rusty
3 short-eared owls
Thanks to all those who attended, and especially to Brainard and Dave. They
have an uncanny ability to find, identify, share and explain birds to the rest
of us. This always makes a trip much more enjoyable and informative.
