Bristol Birders,
I stopped by Beaver Knob, KY (just over the state line from
the Breaks Park) on my way home from finishing up my
Christmas shopping this morning. There were not as many
sparrows as last weekend but probably a couple hundred
Goldfinch have taken their place. I got some greats looks
at a Northern Harrier as he hunted over the fields - an
accipiter made a quick run at him but I didn't see if it was
a Cooper's or a Sharpie. Wish I had taken my camcorder now.
The large flocks of crows remain on the reclaimed strip mine
site and I also noted a Horned Lark and Ruby-crowned
Kinglet.
I've got a resident Sharp-shinned Hawk around my house and
he stopped by this morning to make sure my Sharpie Food
Feeders were well stocked with bait. He makes several runs
past my bird feeders each day.
Everyone have a Merry Christmas this year. I may see some
of you at the Blackford (Russell Co.) CBC on the 28th or the
Mt. Rogers CBC on Jan 4th.
Merry Birding,
Ed Talbott
