Yesterday Steve Mlodinow told me about a Red-shouldered Hawk he saw on
Spencer Island. Today I relocated the bird in a grove of trees North of
the Barn on the west side of the Island. A Northern Harrier harrassed
the bird so I was able to get a good look at the beautiful markings on
its back and wings. I was on the island from around 10:00am until
1:00pm and observed the bird off and on during that time. At one point
it flew around with a Red-tailed Hawk always landing in the same trees
as the RT. It called out several times during the day

Pied-billed Grebe
American Bittern--2
