It was a very pleasant sixty-three degree morning at Hi Lonesome this morning. I was out of town yesterday so I couldn't do my usual Sunday morning report. It was pretty birdy this morning, and it was a pleasure to be out there. The highlight of the morning was definitely the Upland Sandpiper--three of them!! All the usual suspects were also out there; the Dickcissel took the prize for the most of any one species. It was a first of the season for me to see and hear a Blue Grosbeak. Other more unusual birds were: Northern Bobwhite (5), Brown Thrasher; Grasshopper sparrow, 2; Henslow's sparrow 7; Gray catbird; Yellow-breasted Chat. For those of you who have been waiting to see the Upland Sandpiper, I was out there about 8:45. Of course, there is no guarantee. They did just seem to be active at that time, flying around, perching, doing their sort of purring call. Happy Birding!
