Greetings all,

Had a chance this AM to walk off some turkey dinner, so I spent a couple of pleasant hours at the Hundred Acre Woods (NE Lakewood, Pierce Co.) The biggest surprize was sighting a Northern Shrike. It's only the second one I've seen at the site in 2 1/2 years of checking. The earlier one was in April of 2005. Also making an appearance was a Lincoln's Sparrow, rarely seen at the Woods. A Short-tailed Hawk chased off a competing Kestrel and a River Otter popped in (very briefly when he spotted me).
Western Scrub Jays were thick this morning. As close as I could tell, there were between 25 and 30 Scrub Jays there today.
