This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_OywaMLmrgQpOMh1IMOmJNA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT ----- Original Message ----- From: Hans Toom To: Ns-Rba@Yahoogroups.Com Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 8:13 PM Subject: White-crowned Sparrow, Prairie Warbler, Lapland Longspur, Peregrine Falcon and other stuff Late this afternoon while making dinner in Portuguese Cove I spotted a clear breasted, svelte and large sparrow sporting a jaunty yellow forecrown, the most golden forecrown I've every seen on a White-crowned Sparrow. I was unsuccessful at morphing this bird into a Golden-crowned Sparrow. On Sunday last a Prairie Warbler moved through our property with a bunch of yellow-rumps and palms. This is a yard first. I walked the Pennant Peninsula this morning and found a Black Guillemot, one Lapland Longpsur and two American Pipits. The raptors are returning, today's bunch included Peregrine Falcon, Merlin, Northern Harrier, two circling Sharp-shinned Hawks and of course the locally nesting Ospreys. And as a side bar, I counted 220 Monarch Butterflies including 164 on the return leg from Pennant Point as I walked towards their southward flow. This is the most Monarchs I've seen out this way in one day. But I was disappointed because there was no pile up at Pennant Point.
