Seven of us went out to Shaker Village on ASK's scheduled walk today. We had
excellent views of three Northern Bobwhite up on one of the stone fences, a
female and two males, until one of the males drove off the other. Unfortunately
the camera was still in the trunk. Other highlights included three Blue
Grosbeaks that everyone saw well and then a flyby Loggerhead Shrike to divert
my attention from trying to snap a couple of shots of the grosbeaks. We heard a
couple of Willow Flychatchers calling, but could not find them to get a look at
them. At the bird blind we had up close looks at Baltimore Oriole and Indigo
Buntings that came right up to the ledge of the blind, pecking on the glass. No
Dickcissel, Bobolink or Cuckoo, otherwise the expected suspects.
