Hi All:
I spent yesterday morning and this morning over in my atlas square
nature-watching, birding, looking for animal tracks/scat, and looking for
photo subjects. After all the rain it was great for spotting tracks. I had
fresh bear, mainland moose, coyote, skunk and deer tracks.
The birds I saw yesterday and today were as follows:
AMERICAN KESTREL
BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEES
BOREAL CHICKADEES
BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER
PALM WARBLERS (MANY)
CEDAR WAXWINGS (MANY)
GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS
NORTHERN FLICKERS (MANY)
SONG SPARROWS
DARK-EYED JUNCOS
GRACKLES
FLYCATCHER (SP)
COMMON MERGANSERS
BLUE JAY
CANADA WARBLER
AMERICAN ROBIN
RED-TAILED HAWK
The highlight of my day today was a lifer bird - a CANADA WARBLER. I got
some pics but only with a 135mm lens (I don't have a big lens yet for my new
camera) so they are heavily cropped and not the greatest quality. How
common are they? It sure was a beautiful bird.
Here is the link to my recent photos:

I've also started taking photos of animal tracks. If anyone wants to have a
look and correct any mis-identifications I may have made I'd appreciate it!

AN ATLAS QUESTION:
Can I add the Canada Warbler as "X" "(observed) or is this considered a
migrant and not in breeding season? Also, the group of Cedar Waxwings were
mostly immatures - can I confirm them as "FY" (fledged young), or is it too
late? Same with the Flickers - many immatures that I saw today.
I also had a close encounter with a bear. I stopped on a bridge over a
brook, and got out to look and do a little pishing. Well I pished out a
bear! He came out onto the road, we looked at each other, then he stood up
on his haunches and sniffed the air, I snapped his picture, then off he ran.
He was small - a yearling perhaps.
Cheers!
Cindy
