OldBird 21c microphone covered in snow<\/p><\/div>\n

Woke up this morning to find 6 inches of snow on the ground. \u00a0Had to spend an hour digging out the car, and didn’t see or hear too much in the early AM.<\/p>\n

Highlight was about 9:45 when I heard a bunch of excited crows while listening to my OldBird 21c microphone. \u00a0I went to the window and saw them land in a tree, and guessed there must be a hawk in the tree.<\/p>\n

Sure enough, there was. \u00a0I got the scope on it and was able to digiscope it–a young Red-shouldered Hawk, backyard big year bird #44 and a Code 4 bird I’ve only ever seen once before in the yard.<\/p>\n

At the end of the morning I only had 18 species. \u00a0In spite of spending almost 2 hours outside in the afternoon, I could only muster up a Pileated Woodpecker and 3 unidentified gull sp. to get me to my 20 Bird MDR<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lots of birds around, especially in the morning, but surprisingly no nuthatches calling or at the feeder this morning (eBird checklist<\/a>).<\/p>\n
