A very happy birthday for you!     

Sad story. 

Did we band MAK before she left

Not much happening this year for Jeff but he did send these pics of a baby seal pup.


  Hope the adventures get better for him.

This is very cute! 

From Maureen over on the FB page...

"That silhouette is actually Mariah after she was released by Mike out near Montezuma."

What exciting story!

So sad. 

Zoothera sibirica

The Siberian Thrush, Zoothera sibirica, is a member of the Thrush family Turdidae.

It breeds in taiga in Siberia. It is strongly migratory, with most birds moving to southeastern Asia during the winter. It is a very rare vagrant to western Europe. It is very secretive.

The Siberian Thrush is similar in size to the Song Thrush. It is omnivorous, eating a wide range of insects, earthworms and berries.

The male Siberian Thrush is a dark blue-grey above and below, with a white stripe above the eye. The lower belly and flanks are white. The female is a much browner bird, with a buff stripe above the eye.

A striking identification feature of both sexes in flight is the black band on the white underwings, a feature shared with the White's Thrush (http://tinyurl.com/28veopv).
