ebenezer point



checked out ebenezer point for the eared grebe.  lots of horned grebes
and some pied billed grebes but nothing i could identify with certainty
as the eared grebe.  most were quite a distance across the water.  did
see one in breeding plumage but before i could ascertain which one it
dove and before coming up a boat sped by and i never saw it again.  by
now the boat traffic was getting heavy and the grebes apparently had
moved to safer areas.

moved on to big woods in search of the crossbills but no luck.  

the purple finches and gold finches are going thru my seed daily.  the
fox sparrows are still around and finally had a pair of pine siskins
yesterday.  they didn't stay around long.

just a reminder--ticks are definitely out.  although i didn't pick one
up while birding i did while out picking up trash in the woods around my
duplex.  was crawling around inside my jeans.  i quess this means spring
is definitely around the corner.  plus i'm now seeing my bats at dusk.
