Unusually late. In flock of Brewers Blackbirds feeding in knocked down corn
field among small herd of cows. Observed with scope at about 100 feet on ground
and perched on wire. Noted larger size than BRBL, longer tail, longer stouter
bill, and different sheen pattern. Had a conspicuous hood-like green sheen to
head, neck, and upper breast. Upper parts were bronzy and folded wings were
purplish. Like the BRBL it had a yellow eye. The tail was not distinctly keeled
like a GTGR and was intermediate in size between BRBL and GTGR.

pishing. First identified by high pitch repeated chips and more rapid notes.
Small gray bird with a red-brown mask and dark bill. Foraging in the pine trees
across the parking area and Huber grove farm house. Exact count as birds flew

First heard their distinctive calls, then saw it fly over the road. Bright blue
Jay with white outer tail feathers and white belly,black collar.
Matthew Pendleton (22 Dec 2017) - [Harold Crane WMA] -
Chestnut-collared Longspur. Pale looking longsur with a wing bar and
smallish bill. Tail pattern seen very well and clearly. Compared to McCown's
Longspur the tail looked black with large crescent shaped outer white patches
instead of a white tail with a black lower border and dark medial stripe. Heard
and seen with Laplands and Horned Larks. Tail pattern noticed best when it
jumped and moved, fanning its tail. I missed the best photo opp when I couldn't
find it in my camera before they flew off but I managed one poor yet diagnostic
photo of it in flight.

Kristin Purdy (13 Dec 2017) - [Beaus Pond & Beaus
Forest Green Park] - Varied Thrush. Continuing since first observed by
Taylor Abbott and Mike Hearell on 12/9. Seen at least five times across the
duration of the trip always immediately around the parking lot. Does not mix
with the robins. Perches quietly without moving much in mature trees with craggy
bark and large branches, including trees over hanging information kiosk roof,
handicapped parking spot and others with samaras. Eats red berries from the row
of trees along the west side of the parking lot. Flew twice into the brush
between the information kiosk and restroom path, then returned to the parking
lot berry trees. Pretty girl.
Mike Hearell (12 Dec 2017) - [Beaus Pond & Beaus
Forest Green Park] - White-breasted Nuthatch. (Interior West). First heard the
low, nasal, repetitive call "whi whi whi whi whi whi whi", but wasn't able to
locate the source. 10 minutes later observed the bird at the feeder and then it
moved high up the cottonwood tree just south of the feeder, often giving a
single call note as it searched the bark.

Lapland Longspur. One individual seen on the ground, two individuals seen
together in flight. Went out in hopes that the snow from previous eve was still
present, but was gone. This made observing/photographing while they were on the
ground close to impossible. Only the head was visible on occasion. Alerted to
their presence by their "rattle". Seen at the very end of the road on the S
side, approximately 65 yards off the road.
-- Also seen: Rough-legged Hawk, American Tree Sparrow,
Savannah Sparrow,

Least Sandpiper. With the Killdeer. Very small sandpiper, short black bill
with the appearance of being downturned due mostly to curve of lower mandible.
Possibly first-year birds; cryptic upper parts more brown-toned than gray with
black centers of wing covert feathers. White under parts from lower breast
through tail. Crouching style of foraging sometimes partly out of sight in cow
foot prints. When visible, dull yellow legs.
