Sunrise outside Ault
There were a few commotions at Crow Valley today.
One of them centered around this puddle; robins and jays yakking
all over the place in between morning drinks.
Another commotion involved a pair of Merlins and some Blue Jays.
At one point the battle raged on directly above me. In my
excitement I think I saved the Jay, (at least temporarily)
but lost the shot.
I figured I'd get to see a lot of Wilson's Warblers hopping around CV today.
Expectation met.
Plumbeous vireo....judging by recent posts anyhow.
Don't know about this one...feels like a Warbling Vireo though.
UPDATE: Um, let's just say this is confirmed as Warbling.
Cracks me up :)
On the way home, I looked for Burrowing Post Owls. No luck, only
this guy. I was sad to see a recent fire had burned some of my
favorite Burrowing habitat.
