All,
RK
After the White-fronts, all i could hear around the house was other birds.
Golden-crowned Sparrows, while common elsewhere, are not always seen in my
neighborhood, and when I had them here, I knew things were moving.
At lunch, I went out to Vancouver Lake, which was surprisingly dead, just
Cormorants and no pelicans. I drove north and then found birds---41 American
White Pelicans were heading up and out, circling and circling up until they
caught the same thermals that were bringing numerous Turkey Vultures and some
REd-tailed Hawks through. White-fronts, Cacklers, and Sandhill Cranes were
also in the area. Between the area around the lake and Frenchman's Bar, and
then driving across Vancouver, I saw at least 40 TVs. Lots of passerine
movement as well, and a Merlin earlier this morning in East Vancouver.
