Luckily we had a = half day of school today, so after I got out, I and my mom went over = there. We started at the disturbed area on Groveton Road and saw: 3 Swamp Sparrows in a marshy bit to the southwest of the field 2 Vesper Sparrows north of the mulch piles 1 Brown Thrasher in the west part of the field 1 Sharp-shinned Hawk that flew out of the same hedge where the thrasher = was 1 Northern Parula heard lots of Field Sparrows also 1 Gray Fox Near the stables: 9 Common Snipe 1 Savannah Sparrow At the Stone Bridge: lots of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers 1 Canada Goose on a nest on the top of a dead snag that somewhat = overhangs the stream, hidden from view from the front (coming from the = bridge) How will the goslings get out of the nest? 1 Black Vulture 1 Dark-eyed Junco that looked a little different. I thought at first = that it could have been an Oregon Junco, but after studying it for a = while, I figured it was just a different looking female Slate-colored. = The crown was gray, the cheeks brownish, brownish back, and a very dark = gray area around the bill. But there were no outstanding characteristics = that would have made it an Oregon.
