Howdy All!
Interesting day at the park. The hawks were a no show but there were other
interesting birds moving around. The most interesting being the Baltimore x
Bullock's Hybrid Oriole that was hanging around the Blackjack Nature Trail.
This bird had the black head and orange "shoulder" patch of an adult male
Baltimore but the big white patch on its wing coverts, just below the orange
shoulder of a Bullock's. The color was a little more yellowish-orange like a
Bullock's rather than the striking orange of the Baltimore.
This Saturday, Sept. 27th, we are going to have a hawk watch here at the lake
dam from 8:15am to 12 noon. Maybe a little longer if the hawks show in good
numbers. Come on out and join us!
