This morning I was with a photographer friend and we were watching the bird=
s at 40 Archibald Street. We were parked at the usual location at Brook St=
reet below. Present were three brown-headed cowbirds with two males and a =
female. I later up another street had a female brown-headed cowbird and a =
cowbird that for the life of me I could not see the brown on the head=2C wh=
ich should signify a male. Lighting was good enough and the bird close eno=
ugh that the brown should have shown up. My friend attempted to photograph=
this bird=2C but it flew I believe before a good shot or any shot could be=
obtained. Anyhow=2C a bird to watch out for as it could be one of those c=
owbirds that are not supposed to be here. =20
=20
The rusty blackbird was present=2C but no signs of the red-bellied woodpeck=
er or the lark sparrow today.

I missed what could have been the best bird of the day. I saw a bird fly p=
ast just as the owner of the house at 40 Archibald came out and introduced =
herself. The property is owned by Ella and Russell Boener. Anyhow=2C the =
bird I thought to just be a brown creeper. It's actions and the way it lan=
ded on the tree suggested such. I gave it no more thought. In the meantim=
e while I was conversing with the house owner=2C my friend with the camera =
was busy photographing. He is to send me a photo=2C but as far as I can de=
termine the bird looks like either a blackpoll warbler or a black & white w=
arbler. From the actions I'm leaning towards black & white. The warbler f=
lew before I could get another look myself and I could not relocate it. Th=
at will teach me! Anyhow=2C I'll update once I have the photos and get pos=
itive confirmation.
=20
The other good bird was a pair of white-winged crossbills at Blue Rocks in =
good light. Very quiet at Garden Lots and Blue Rocks. In Garden Lots a lo=
ne common grackle was a treat.
