Title: OT: Bird Watchers Count
Post by: sandbox on September 03, 2006, 10:21:27 PM

I had an unusual bird in my yard a while back, it looked to big for a hawk, the wrong color for a young Eagle or Osprey, turns out it wasn't the typical backyard flyer but a Cooper's hawk.

Great Backyard Bird Count

Record breaker! Read the press release about how participants broke two records this year in the most comprehensive Great Backyard Bird Count ever!

    Highlights from around the continent Robin flocks as loud as jets in the Northwest, a spectacular irruption of Snowy Owls, high counts of winter warblers--read a sampling of what this year's GBBC had to show.
