-A balmy -2…I overlayered. Very icy out (rained yesterday, followed by a flash freeze overnight) – I did ‘the dance’ a few times.
-11 species in 90 minutes.
-A Common Raven was species #83 for the site (not sure how I never had one there before). It was making odd vocalizations from a tree while an American Crow watched. When the crow departed, the raven flew over to roof to seemingly retrieve some stashed food.
-A European Robin showed up in the east end of Montreal yesterday, Canada’s first, and has caused quite the ruckus. It’s in someone’s front yard in a residential area, and the crowds are huge. I feel queasy in those situations, so I will not be checking it out (too many people, not enough birds). I’ve seen them in Europe, though. Korea, too. Debate rages as to whether or not it was ship-assisted. Neat!
