VA Birders,
The Rose-breasted Grosbeaks were back at my feeders today. Two males enjoyed
the White Proso Millet, while 2 Pine Siskins fed on the Black Oil Sunflower
seeds.
Just after sunset a Veery came to my small yard stream to bathe. He liked the
stream so much he bathed, dried himself, then bathed again.
After dark I went outside and surprised a Barred Owl sitting on the ground just
below my feeders. It saw me and disappeared like a ghost into the woods. At
night using the baby monitor transmitter outside the window we hear the Barred
Owl calling and in the distance we can hear a Whip-poor-will.
Good Birding,
Roger Mayhorn
