Tony Grove area and AIC

[Roostertael at aol dot com]

Hi,

Yesterday kind of got overshadowed by the Ruddy Turnstone.

Bob Huntington and I went to Tony Grove with the hopes of seeing something
new. There was an abundance of birds in the area.

Western Tanager                    
        Yellow-rumped Warbler
Tree Swallow                      
            Violet-green Swallow
Gray Flycatcher                    
          Northern Flicker
White-crowned Sparrow                   
Broad-tailed Hummingbird 
House Wren                     
              Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Common Raven                     
         Song Sparrow
American Kestrel                   
         Cedar Waxwing
Spotted Sandpiper                   
       Williamson's Sapsucker
Ruffed Grouse                    
            Gray Catbird
American Robin                    
          Chipping Sparrow
Green-tailed Towhee                  
     Orange-crowned Warbler
Yellow Warbler                    
           Pine Siskin
Black-headed Grosbeak                  Ruf
ous Hummingbird
Black-chinned Hummingbird            Cassin's Finch
Fox Sparrow                     
             Lazuli Bunting
MacGillivray's Warbler                 
   Warbling Vireo
Red-naped Sapsucker                  
  Belted Kingfisher

The grouse, williamsons, kingfisher, and Spotted Sandpiper were found 
along the Franklin Basin Road which is several miles farther north 
of the Tony Grove Road.

Then we went to AIC, and found the Red Knot, Black-bellied Plovers,
Pectoral Sandpiper, Semi-palmated Sandpiper, and the thousands of 
shorebirds that were most recently reported by Tim Avery and previously 
by the Beyers. Then we got the report from Dennis and hurried down 
and found the Ruddy Turnstone. What a day. The Red Knot was also 
a life bird for me, but I sure would like a closer look at it. 
It was a looooong ways out.

What a day.

Jack Binch
