Grand Vue, Saturday, January 12, 2013

An unusually warm weekend led to a long walk and several good birds. First I want to journal that I had a dozen redpolls at my feeder at my house last Thursday. Grand Vue on Saturday yielded the following: 7 blue birds, a red tailed hawk,many usuals at the feeding stations, and reports of redpolls earlier in the week. I hiked all the way down to the stream and located a winter wren. He responded to audio and came within 15 feet. On the way back up the hill I saw a red fox as well. No sign of any activity at my owl boxes.
