So during a visit by Tom Prestby, after a successful rendezvous for the ANMU in Saint Joseph, MI yesterday, I walked him around the golf course for a little bit this morning. Very few birds were around (5 shovelers and a pair of cacklers were the only things of interest). As we were about to head in Tom picked out the whistle of a Lapland Longspur and paused. Shortly after we both heard the rattle and repeated whistles. So I hustled back into the "yard" area so the bird would be legit much to Tom's ammusement.
Not too many more yardbird possibilities left this year unless smaller wetlands around freeze up and the larger pond here pulls some ducks in...

That's a heck of a yard bird. Definitely NOT planning to get that one here... Did have my first WTSP at the feeder since April today! (does this tell you how few sparrows hang in my yard?)

ReplyDeleteGood to have you back in the fray for the final couple weeks Dave. Are we going to continue this and reset the clickers to zero come Jan 1?
