Hi all,
During the last few days I have walked from my house down to the former
Evergreen Dairy on the Black river ( Endicott Rd & 123rd). Along the
fence where my first 3 SAVANNAH SPARROWS of the year! also on the fence,
1 LINCOLN'S SPARROW being chased by a SONG SPARROW. Mixed in with the
other ducks was a EURASIAN WIGEON, a pair of WOOD DUCKS flew overhead,
also firsts of the year!
In the field in the upper NW side of the refuge was a NORTHERN SHRIKE.
Best of all, this morning was a SAY'S PHOEBE!!! by the yellow barn.
Nether of the SAY'S PHOEBE, WOOD DUCK, SHRIKE or EURASIAN WIGEON were
seen on more than one occasion and so could be only passing threw, but
still very exciting for me.
