If I didn't tell you in person, THANK YOU ALL for a wonderful weekend.  Even though my visit is only once a year, it seems as if I am on watch with you guys every day.   Fingers continue to be crossed for the feathered newbies.

One from a series of flight pictures over Xerox Saturday morning. I have to figure out the best way to make them into a movie...the synchronized flight was incredible!

On Saturday Joyce took me on a raptor tour of the greater Rochester area. While at Braddock Bay I spotted a small blue-gray bird with a white chest & white stripe on it's tail hovering over the grass. Blue-gray hovering bird only brought up a kingfisher in Joyce's app, but it doesn't have a white tail tip. I knew I'd spot it as soon as I could get to my Peterson's...Eastern Kingbird

 

From all about birds: With dark gray upperparts and a neat white tip to the tail, the Eastern Kingbird looks like it’s wearing a business suit. And this big-headed, broad-shouldered bird does mean business—just watch one harassing crows, Red-tailed Hawks, Great Blue Herons, and other birds that pass over its territory. Eastern Kingbirds often perch on wires in open areas and either sally out for flying insects or flutter slowly over the tops of grasses. They spend winters in South American forests, where they eat mainly fruit.
