Good afternoon everyone, I hope you get a chance to enjoy the sun today. We
had a beautiful morning with some great looks at a few birds. We were
surprised to have an adult male Sharp-Shinned Hawk bathing in the water feature
at the Green Jay Blind and learned a valuable lesson this morning: always make
sure to check the House Sparrows, you'll never know when there is a Dickcissel
trying to blend in.
