Subject: [birders] different birds
From: Su Clift <s.clift(AT)comcast.net>

Just when I was starting to think cowbirds had taken over my
backyard....
... this morning I saw a pair of titmice (haven't seen any for over a
year), a hairy woodpecker, and the chickadees are making themselves
known. All at my feeders. Of course, I have to go out of town
today.... can't stick around to feed and watch them....

The grackles and blackbirds are flocking in my yard in Superior
Township, but mostly they're flocking just to clean out my bird feeders!

I saw a chukar on my ride to work this morning along Joy Road between Ponti=

it's probably a released bird.=

Last Week checking a thicket along a creek that cuts through Fishermans =
Island State Park up in Charlevoix county I happened along a pair of =
Brown Thrashers in there. Quite agitated, they were within inches of me =
in the brush scolding all the time. In that period they aligned =
themselves whereas I only saw them in view for fleeting seconds. Never =
could get a photo. Likely they had a nest very nearby. Also in there =
were agitated Baltimore Orioles, Song Sparrows and by all accounts a =
single Northern Waterthrush! Did get one not great photo of it anyhow. =
Not wanting to disrupt these birds further I backed away.

Subject: [birders] brown thrasher
For a normally elusive bird, I have had good opportunities to have =
long looks at Brown Thrashers. Twice I enjoyed the bird water bathing =
in a small, intermittent stream that runs off of the back of our house =
along a Bur Oak woodland. Then yesterday I watched a thrasher dust =
bathe in the sand from a ground mole "push up" that brought the sand up =
to the surface. In all observations there was extensive preening before =
the subjects returned to their quiet habitats.
