Paul and Tweets

Over the years, I have often had birds flush from the road side, on back
roads, and some hill side roads. I initialy thought they were Robins.
I have learned that they can be robins, varied thrushed, or flickers.
All ae about the same side. The flickers always show white at the base
of the tail - similar to a N. harrier......

If the firds you saw, Paul, were robin size, they very well could have
been flickers.
