It's hard to count hummingbirds, but our nectar consumption plummeted suddenly from 2 cups a day to near zero about last Friday, the 19th. We still have at least one. I saw a Marsh Wren in the hay field again yesterday morning. No more pictures..yet. Twice yesterday I saw a hawk flying from a dead walnut beside the tobacco barn. Looked like a falcon bigger than a Kestrel. Decided to quit stripping tobacco early and try to relocate it. Had no luck with that, but spotted a Raccoon eating little critters it was catching at the edge of the pond. Watched it hunt about 10 minutes. It never saw me and still doesn't know it's been shot by 2 different canons. 4 new pix here - https://www.flickr.com/photos/123438032@N04/ Frank Lyne frank@xxxxxxxxxxx - near Dot in Logan County, KY ================NOTES TO SUBSCRIBERS============= When posting on BIRDKY, please close posts with your first and last name and your address (city or county). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post on BIRDKY, send e-mail to: birdky@xxxxxxxxxxxxx * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the KOS website at http://www.birdky.org * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Visit the KOS Photo Page to view photos of birds recently sighted in Kentucky: http://www.flickr.com/groups/kentucky_ornithological_society/pool * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To unsubscribe, send e-mail to: birdky-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject line. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * BIRDKY List Manager: Gary Ritchison.
