[redcliffs] Washington County Birds

[Rick Fridell]

Hello Everyone,

Alright, I'm guilty as Tim charged. This is certainly one of the best times
of the year to go birding, so get out and find those birds (and post those
findings!).

I visited Lytle Ranch this weekend and although the heat kept bird activity
down and there were not many migrants around, I did see some notable birds.
Highlights included a Red-shouldered Hawk (orchard), Long-eared Owl,
Red-breasted Sapsucker (daggettii), Blue-headed Vireo, and female American
Redstart.

Also of interest, there is a male Greater Scaup (somewhat early) and a pair
of Hooded Mergansers at Stratton Pond (Grandpa's Fishing Pond) in Hurricane
(present since 9/25).

I'll try to do better posting,
