Birding at the Krakauer nest



Tom and Janet have been seeing good numbers of thrushes on their morning bird walks in Bahama (its not as far as you think), including Grey-cheeked thrush.   Since I needed this bird, I finagled an invitation to join the morning ritual.  Tom managed to deliver the Grey-cheeked thrush within minutes of my arrival, as well as Swainson's thrush.  Other birds of interest seen in the vicinity:
-Good numbers of woodpeckers (about 5 species including a pair of Pileateds).
-A few hawks, including Red-shouldered (voice), Kestrel (along road near their property), Coopers/Sharp-shinned (one vote for each on this bird)
-Flycatchers: empidid sp. , phoebes
-Warblers: Black-throated blue (female), Pine, Palm, Chestnut-sided
-Scarlet tanager
-Rosebreasted Grosbeak
-Flock of Cedar waxwings
-Yellow-billed cuckoo
