<div class="rteDiv"></div><p style="margin-top:2px; margin-bottom:2px">Yesterday (1.11.24) there was a RED FOX SPARROW at Whistling Train Farm in Kent. https://flic.kr/p/2prZK9z</p><p style="margin-top:2px; margin-bottom:2px"><br>
</p><div>Along S 285th St where it dead ends at Hwy 167, I counted 152 KILLDEER in the field to the north. Mixed among the Killdeer were at least 6 LEAST SANDPIPERS.</div><div><br>
</div><div>The adult NORTHERN RED-TAILED HAWK ( Buteo jamaicensis abieticola ) continues at M Street, west of Emerald Downs, in Auburn. It has been there since at least 11.18.23.</div><div>For more information about this red-tail see: <a href="https://ebird.org/canada/news/identifying-northern-red-tailed-hawks/">https://ebird.org/canada/news/identifying-northern-red-tailed-hawks/</a></div><div>I have put several videos of this bird on Flickr since 11.18.23: https://flic.kr/ps/376fhN</div><div><br>
</div><div>I have not seen the Eastern, or the light or dark morph Harlan's for several days, but the adult northern is usually present and is relatively easy to spot with a scope at the north end of the area. This particular individual has a pure white throat. A white throat and a red tail is not a common combination among western red-tails.</div><div><br>
