Winter Birds

Pine Grosbeak in Wisco

American Tree Sparrow at Plum Island

Thousands of Snow Geese in Vermont. Guesses on how many?

Muddy Hollow

I went to another offsite today with Michael. It was probably the most beautiful day I've had here so far. Nothing too special on the bird front, but we brought in about 15 and I got to see a lot of hermit thrush. Tomorrow I get to check out or third offsite and will then be expecting about a week of rain.

Ruby crowned kinglet


Hermit thrush

Shrike one

Northern shrike. Avoiding serious wounds from these guys is tougher than with any of the raptors we catch. I was out when they caught this, but Fud gave me a call and all he asked was "do you want to see a lot of blood?" Naturally I packed up at the library and headed back.
