Even though Wally's list for the week is fairly short, it included some
very nice birds. At the head of the list was an
Eastern Meadowlark which is about a month earlier than expected. Even more interesting is
the weather conditions the bird migrated into. I say migrated because
there were two separate sightings which included at least 2 to 3 birds.
Other birds of interest were
Common Goldeneye,
Common Merganser,
Northern Harrier,
Cooper's Hawk,
Bald Eagle,
Red-tailed Hawk,
Hairy Woodpecker,
American Kestrel,
Northern Shrike (another great bird) and
Horned Lark. Dave

Wally reported that not many exciting birds were found over the last
two weeks. A winter lull is to be expected until the first migrants
return, typically mid to late February. Some waterfowl may appear
sooner depending upon the availability of open water. His recent finds
included
Common Goldeneye,
Common Merganser,
Great Blue Heron,
Sharp-shinned Hawk,
Cooper's Hawk,
Bald Eagle,
Red-tailed Hawk,
Hairy Woodpecker,
American Kestrel and
Red-breasted Nuthatch. Dave
