Jan 20 2011
The partially albino ring-billed gull was on the ice at the park this morning. Ratio of ages was 12 adult: 2 2nd winter : 1 1st winter
(increased to 97 birds in 10 st w and at least 3 2nd w by the time I finished my coffee)
For a second day, a raptor caused a last minute distraction with a young red-tailed hawk posing at the reception pool bridge

Jan 19 2011 - watch out little birdies...
A quick visit this morning with a couple of interesting raptor sightings.
A Merlin dashed through, over the new soccer field and away over Cardinal Bridge.
As I was preparing to leave I spotted a Coopers Hawk in the oft-used tree above the crossroads. I drove back to the crossroads and subsequently watched the bird fly down to a large bush in front of one of the houses. The bush moved s little and after a few seconds the Coopers appeared to be pursuing something on foot as it ran around the base of the bush before flying off, maybe following a bird that had decided to chance outfliyng the hawk.
