Hi all:


I took a walk in Miller's Point Peace Park last night.  As I was strolling =
through the cemetery four birds flew out three of which were American robin=
s.  The fourth was a little smaller and more thin and streamlined.  The col=
or was that of a male orange variant scarlet tanager.  The wings were not r=
ight for a Baltimore oriole, nor the extent of the color, which was on the =
back and underpart of the bird.  If anyone can suggest other possibilities =
I would be very appreciative.  It definitely was not a crossbill.


I also heard my first Wilson's snipe winnowing, but as hard as I tried I wa=
s not able to see it.


David Walmark told me about a great horned owl pair with three young at Nor=
thwest.  I plan to make a trip out that way on Sunday to hopefully see them=
.  It is on a private woodlot.
