Hey, all. With Sharon Stiteler and Hannah Floyd and Andrew Floyd, I'm having a grand old freezing cold time down here at the High Plains Snow Goose Festival, Lamar, Prowers County. Earlier today, Fri., Feb. 9, at Willow Creek Park, behind Lamar Community College, we saw an
auduboni Hermit Thrush and an
iliaca Fox Sparrow, along with more expected birds like
Red-bellied Woodpecker, Myrtle Warbler, Audubon's Warbler, and
Northern Cardinal. A
Great-tailed Grackle was inclined to sing, for whatever reason, this dreary afternoon. And an oddity was a leucistic dark-morph
Red-tailed Hawk. Think about it.
Hard to believe, but the weather is supposed to be even more wretched tomorrow. So what are you waiting for! Come on down for the rest of the weekend. Great workshops and presentations, plus mildly insane field trips. Sharon was last seen photographing bluebirds in a cemetery well east of town Lord knows where...
