It was another gorgeous day at Hi Lonesome, however most of the birds have gone to their wintering grounds, I believe. There were 5 American Crows flying away as I approached Hi Lonesome, but they were not on the prairie.
I drove quite awhile before I saw my first bird: A Savannah Sparrow. A little further, and another fence-sitting Savannah Sparrow.
But the best was a Loggerhead Shrike at the junction of Hi Lonesome and Klink. An Eastern Meadowlark got up near the same place as the shrike. And that was it!!
Have a wonderful rest of your weekend. Marge Lumpe Benton County
