Re: Backyard birds

?Hi again, Cliff¨C never know whether to reply just to the sender or the whole group but wanted to let you and others know that Morris had already reported the Wilson¡¯s warbler through MerlinBirdID.com and it seems that they overlap with ebirds.com because his sightings were already listed. Since they¡¯re both part of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology group, Morris said they must cross-pollinate.... ?

The other listing Morris submitted was of a juvenile black-crowned night heron (see photo below) but although we had never seen such a bird in our frequent evening walks along the Pocket Canal Parkway, we were told they are common!?But it said the Wilson¡¯s warbler was rare so I guess that¡¯s a good criteria to go by....

Thanks again for your help,?

Di and Morris?

That Wilson's Warbler is a nice find for this time of year. We don't get a lot of winter records. As one of the county eBird reviewers I really hope you put a list in with this great photo documentation.?

Morris got all these shots this morning from our kitchen window! We have a huge mound of daisies in one of our planter boxes that blooms all winter and there¡¯s now a large hole in the middle of the bush. We think one of our rescue feral cats jumped in to try to catch a bird because we see all kinds of little birds in there all the time. I put a solar light in the middle of the hole to discourage cats from jumping in there but fortunately, it doesn¡¯t deter the birds!
