Hello, Birders.

Nice birds yesterday, Friday, Feb. 19, along Willow Creek in Lamar, Prowers County.

Our highlights: 30 scaled quail, 2 sharp-shinned hawks, 1 Cooper hawk, 2 red-bellied woodpeckers, 1 prairie merlin, 2 Carolina [white-breasted] nuthatches, 2 ruby-crowned kinglets, 2 eastern bluebirds, 1 Townsend solitaire, 15 cedar waxwings, 18 myrtle warblers, 1 Audubon warbler, 2 white-throated sparrows, 3 northern cardinals, 20 great-tailed grackles, 15 pine siskins, and 3 lesser goldfinches.

(By the way, I agree with Joyce on nomenclature for eBird locations.)

On a non-avian note, several mourning cloaks were out and about.
