Just last week, I found myself with some spare time, as I had just finished guiding a very nice gentleman from Holland around the area, and was waiting for darkness to settle in so I could track down some of the Mexican Whip-poor-wills, and one of the resident Elf Owls known to be in the area. And just one female Rufous Hummingbird.

Can Snowy Owls be far behind? Corey could have chosen his first Pine Siskins of the year in New York, a Red-headed Woodpecker , a late Osprey , or a Vesper Sparrow as his Best Bird of the Weekend this weekend. One small thing that made me happy this weekend was the return of Long-tailed Ducks to our lakeshore.

Our highland Pygmy-Owls are Northern as well, unless you subscribe to the taxonomy that separates them into the mostly-Mexican Mountain Pygmy-Owl. You might think of the Hairy Woodpecker , Red Crossbill and Pine Siskin as birds of the far northern forests, but they are all residents of our higher coniferous forests as well.
