Howdy all,
been quite a while, I've been in the eastern UP, two-timing it with another yard for the last 6 weeks. Birding in the Hacienda-East has been pretty great- lots of breeding warblers (12 spp, including Blackburian, Magnolia, Pine, Mourning, etc) and other goodies like Wilson's Snipe, American Bittern, Blue-headed Vireo, Lincoln's Sparrow, Red & White-winged Crossbills, Evening Grosbeak, Ruby-crowned Kinglet and my Winter Wren alarm clock.
I (so far) have had 55 species of birds around the immediate property, I suppose I could of added some birds (and still might) if I hiked west from the cabin into the sedge marshes. It is an amazing preserve just full of all kinds of wildlife. These guys took out my birdfeeders one evening!
It was pretty awesome having 12 species of warblers singing from the cabin yard, and spending one's evening having a beer while watching Blue-headed Vireos raise a family was a good time.
This looks awesome Haas-man. Rest assured, however, that even with 2 yards you will still lose to me! Hehehehe...
ReplyDeleteSweet digs (albiet temporary) Skye! Very cool Black Bear shot too. Those guys probably were the thing I remember most of my month and half working in Alger Cty back in 06. Nothing like coming around a corner on the trail and standing face to face with those guys. I don't know how the Alaskan's handle Brown Bear, Black Bear, and Moose!
