Feb. 6, 2005 Dyer and Lake Co. TN After birding Lauderdale Waterfowl Refuge, Saturday afternoon, I headed north and started Sunday looking for some particular winter resident Red-tails that I've noted this winter. The total number for the day, 84, included 5 Krider's (2 adult and 3 imm), 1 dark morph, 1 rufous morph, 1 dark Harlan's and 4 light calurus (western subspecies). Just of 78, east of Bogota Refuge, there has been a brilliant adult Krider's and west of the refuge I saw the rufous morph and the dark morph that have been there all winter. Another adult Krider's has been seen off and on near Owl Hoot and 2 immature Krider's were seen along the Great River Road. The 3rd immature was in the tumbleweed area off 79 highway, west of the Great River Road, where it sat in a tree with one of the light calurus and both sat for ID shots. The dark Harlan's was seen just south of the Phillippy pit area near the levee. Another light calurus was north of the Phillippy section of Black Bayou, while the other two were off the Great River Road south of 104. There were quite a few pairs of Red-tails sitting side by side, and love was in the air............looks like a Happy Valentines Day for ALL. Good Birding!!! Jeff R.
