[birding] Migrant Hermit Thrush, territorial Sharp-shinned Hawk

[Joel Geier]

Hi folks,

A HERMIT THRUSH showed up in our yard today. We seem to only get them in
passage, though usually a few winter on E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area across
the highway.

A SHARP-SHINNED HAWK was harassing a COMMON RAVEN over Tampico Ridge,
where a pair of sharpies usually nest.

The WESTERN BLUEBIRD pair is busy fending off VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOWS who
seem to finally be interested in the nest boxes.

Happy birding,
Joel
