Bird Sightings, March 12, 2007.

Hi Everyone, Spring is here! I am getting calls and emails daily about sightings. This week the hot birds are Red-winged Blackbirds, Turkey Vultures, and Killdeers seen by Bob Hubert. Ron Kingswood also spotted a Short-eared Owl, Fox Sparrow, Merlin, Brewers Black Bird, and Common Grackles.

Robins seem to abound (or at least everyone seems to have seen one).

Last Thursday, Mom and I went down to Roberts Line to see if we could see the Bald Eagle. Instead we saw a pair of Blue Birds! A pleasant sight for sure. We decided to drive to Port Stanley for the Eagles. Low and behold, just as we were leaving Port two big dark birds came over the ridge near Moore Water Gardens. First glance (while driving) we thought it might be vultures. But no, it was two Bald Eagles! Some other species we spied that day included Red-Tails, Rough Legs, Red-winged black birds, and a Red-bellied Woodpecker. So it was a good birding day. Lunch topped it off as usual. Diane
