PIED-BILLED GREBE - actually calling
BELTED KINGFISHER
TURKEY VULTURE - both perched and soaring
NORTHERN SHRIKE - area around the barn
NORTHERN HARRIERS - male doing sort of mating flights
LINCOLN'S & FOX SPARROWS - seen well by all
LESSER GOLDFINCH & HOUSE FINCHES
VARIED THRUSH - 1 uncooperative, only 1 we found looking at tons of robins
