Hello all,
Finally got my RoseBreasted Grosbeaks down on our farm on Owenton. Yeah.
Other highlights:
Blue Grosbeak
Indigo Buntings
Eastern Blue's (one box with hatchlings and one box with 5 eggs)
Blue Gray Gnatcatcher's Found nest of one pair!
Eastern Wood PeeWee
2 Scarlet Tanangers
Baltimore Oriole
Eastern Kingbirds
Black and White Warbler
Northern Parulas all over
My highlight: Scarlet Tananger and Indigo bunting in same binocular view!
Awsome
My fathers highlight: Calling in two tom turkeys. We had heard a tom
gobbling for about an hour and as we finally spotted them feeding, my dad
tried to imitate a female. It didn't take much for both toms to check us
out, one Tom in full display. They approached us to about 35 feet and
veered off up the hill when we didn't pass muster.
I didn't realize male turkeys hung out together like that. I suppose one
was the dominant male and the other a first year male? Could that be right?
My father told me that that was a once in a lifetime treat. Cool.
Beautiful day in Owenton, Owen cty, KY
