Rough-legged Hawk on the road to Reifel (Photographer: Mike Bailey)
Well hidden in the conifers on the eastern trail were four Northern Saw-whet Owls and a pair of Great Horned Owls. Other birds Jonathan and I met: a Northern Shrike, a Merlin, ten Sandhill Cranes… at least four thousand Mallards… and more!!!! wow!
Warning: if you’re a small bird or a rodent and you’re reading this post, stay away from Hastings Park! A Great Horned Owl has been seen there since mid September. He’s still there. The crows will alarm you of his whereabouts at day time, but not at night – they leave to roost. Also, there’s an immature Cooper’s Hawk at the park. Beware.
