....was pretty quiet this morning, likely because I lugged the blasted
scope and tripod around all morning. Was hoping to find the previously
reported Cordilleran Fly. but after 20 -25 minutes gave up on it and also
no LeConte's Sparrows, but did have Sedge Wrens. There were 3 singing
White-eyed Vireos which is good this far north as well as a Black-and-white
and Nashville Warbler. Also two chipper little Golden-crowned Kinglets and
a couple of Gnatcatchers came in as well. Heard what I thought was a
Virgina Rail, but only twice and could not discount a strange coot call.
What was real cool was seeing a hen harrier take down a Coot, there are a
few of the later on the lake. Last time I saw that happen was back in the
80's at Hornsby.
Completely surprised and freaked out a coyote on the trail. Spent some
time looking for Woodcocks where I have had them a time or two in the past
but dipped on those.
Again no Sapsuckers...Where the heck are they this fall??...for sure not in
my area.
