John Switzer and I birded the Wilds and vicinity today, and located the
Northern Shrike previously reported near the pull-off area on Coal Hill
Road. A Red-shouldered Hawk was perched on a branch directly over 284 near
Zeno Road.  We saw several Rough-legged Hawks during the day, but  did not
see any eagles, either bald or golden.



There were quite a few American Tree Sparrows on Zion Ridge, and Eastern
Bluebirds and Robins on Rural Dale.



Rising temperatures during the afternoon started melting the ice on the
roads, and by the time we left the area around three, unpaved roads were
turning to mud.  It should be quite muddy after the even higher temps
forecast for tomorrow.
