Jack. Now THAT'S a sound that drives me insane ! Those blasted Evening Grosbeaks. All they have is a loud , strident mono tone whistle . One or two is bad enough. But get a flock together, and the peace of the estate flies out the window All you hear is a bedlam of noise, that totally drowns out all the other birds. Or if you want quiet. Imagine a whole flock of your ex wife's voice ! LOL If only they are like the Black-Headed Grosbeaks. Their song is absolutely melodious...a joy to hear. And they're gorgeous. They are here too, but not in near the numbers.

All extremely great photos Tray. The hybrid of the western and Clark's is priceless. Do you see them quite a bit? I've watched the dance many times; never ceases to amaze me.

Jack We are on the extreme eastern edge of the Clark’s range, only see 1-2 a year and they are always paired up with a Western. Hybrids are about as common as a pure Clark’s.

I saw this bird one spring feeding in a wet field. For years I looked and talked to people trying to figure out what I had seen. Then a friend gave me Sibley field guide to western birds which I use quit often. Bingo! u And just when you think you have it figured out then a Glossy shows up. We have them occasionally mix in with flocks of White-faced Ibis but it takes a lot of patience on the scope to scan thru and look for one.

Great pictures. Good info on the hybrid greebs. I often see ones that I cannot decide which ones they are. Now I am thinking they are hybrid. I found this good mama in the trail the other day. She was distracting me from her babies. I thought I got video of the babies but apparently I am technologically challenged.

Wow, you really get a wide variety of wildlife from your house. I get many duck species in the spring and see many beaver, otter, muskrats, bear, and deer from my windows as well. The photos are not of great quality, but I do have pictures of all of those I just mentioned. My house sits about 20 feet from the water.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!
