I rushed down there to find a lone Ring-billed Gull in the same field that hosted the Long-billed Curlew back in 08. Also, on a power line crossing the field was a beautiful male Kestrel. Three Rusty Blackbirds joined the Red-wings and Grackles at our feeders this morning with a Fox Sparrow as well. Yesterday saw 3 male Cowbirds and a male Purple Finch join the throng in our feeder yard. DaveR/Breaks
