Hey guys, February '09 edition of Birds and Blooms is out...and can anyone spot the typo...well miss ID really. :-) Page 9...you can't miss it. I was in the dentist office when I saw it and nearly laughed my head off. Made me wonder what the editors were doing/thinking that day. Yesterday I saw one male Harrier On Hoover-Moffit Rd in Union County right near St Hwy 47. He was more in a cruising altitude than a hunting one. As far as Big Island WA goes, I spotted a couple of Northern Harriers today, 1 male 1 female, patrolling the skies down 95. Also at BIWA, a Red Tailed Hawk was using one of the swallow boxes along the side of what I call Elgin School Rd as a hunting perch...wish I had my camera...:-) And finally there are Horned Larks on nearly every back road in Marion/Union County. There haven't been any Snow Buntings. however there is still a lot of winter yet to go. See you out there.
