Good luck on the stilts and ibises Jim. That's a great sighting by Bob. Two Purple Martins arrived this morning so hopefully there will be more to follow. We...
All As I left the area at around 2:00 p.m., the 2 Black-necked Stilts were still on the west side of # 6 near the second or middle bridge within the Qu'Appelle...
I must live right,too. I drove out to 6 and 99 speeding at less then 100kmh as I was low on gas. I was willing the van to go as fast as it could and still save...

We've got the strong winds down here in Estevan as well, Val. I sure hope the BUOWs decide they really, really like that badger hole. I saw a Harris' Sparrow...

Sharon, That looks to me like a European Goldfimch, undoubtedly a North American caged escapee. Weren't there a few released around Chicago a few years back? ...
