Brown Creeper (12/19/2010) |
Rough-legged Hawk (12/19/2010) |
Later that day, I checked S.B. Elliot for winter finches and came up empty. Common Redpolls seem to be showing up in Pennsylvania as 2 were seen on a CBC in Warren County yesterday as well as a flock of 5 were seen today in Northampton County. Hopefully, they show up near S.B. Elliot SP or State College, PA.
Today, I birded the reclaimed strip mines in Clearfield County again to see if I could relocate the Northern Shrike I found on the 16th of this month. I ended up finding it again and getting a few photos from about the same distance as the last time. I could not find either of the Rough-legged Hawks that were located on the 16th.

To end the day today, I accepted a job offer to work in Southwestern U.S. as a Willow Flycatcher surveyor technician. I am pretty pumped about working there next summer, as I have never been further west than Nebraska. Hopefully, I will be seeing a lot of new birds and visiting a ton of new places.
