11/24,25/2011 A trip to Canada was exciting thanks to our guide Bruce Di Labio who showed us Ruffed Grouse , Spruce Grouse , Gray Jay , and White-winged Crossbills (See below!) The highlight for us was a Snowy Owl that allowed us to approach quite close. A magnificent creature! Also saw (but we didn't get quite so close to) many Rough-legged Hawks , Red-tailed Hawks , and Harrier Hawks . We don't often get to see a Northern Shrike - unfortunately he preferred the wire as a hunting perch . Thanks Bruce! |
12/10/11 A Red Fox was the star of our brief trip to Bombay Hook! Also shown an American Goldfinch. |
12/17,18/11 Conowingo Dam, MD and Bombay Hook, DE: Brief visits both: American Kestrel NOT on a wire! A male Northern Harrier , American Black Duck , Green-winged Teal , Black Vulture , Bald Eagle , and a glorious sunrise! |
