Nice crisp morning produced 8 Pine Grosbeaks (all female); 3 Com Redpolls; a No. Shrike; many overhead Horned Larks; 8 Bald Eagles in a clump on the edge of the wild rice (carcass); and thanks to Jay Adams a good look at a Cherry-faced Meadow Hawk.
Two more Pine Grosbeaks were at the very birdy beaver pond on Chopps Cross Rd. nearby, also females.
But after the pulse of Fox Sparrows yesterday, not a single sparrow, of any stripe, was found here today.
Several overhead sounds, coming from high-flying invisible birds, went down as Unident.
The Pine Grosbeaks were all involved with feeding on sparse winter berry. I don't know about you, but the spots I frequent are offering a pretty poor showing of Ilex berries this fall.
