I'm going to Chincoteague Virginia for a week, leaving tomorrow, so I'll be off of blogging for a while.

Biding around home -- Canada Goose Goslings
Today has been very fine for birding. First interesting bird of the day was a Great Blue Heron fishing in a small stream (draft) near my house. We got a good look (maybe about 5 minutes long), and than the heron flew away upstream. 2nd interesting bird of the day was a Red-tailed Hawk perched with some birds (grackles maybe) on a post, off a road. 3rd neat bird/encounter was a Fish Crow on a wire (I assume it was a Fish Crow, not an American Crow, because according to Sibley Fish Crows perch on wires, but American crows rarely do), but I hardly know the viewable differences between the 2. Once the crow got off the wire, a grackle started dive-bombing it! Then on the side of a road, where a small pond is located, there were 5 Domestic Muscovy Ducks, a Domestic Mallard, and 2 Canada Geese parents with 2 goslings! The goslings were getting pretty big. Unfortunately no photos today.
