    Red-shouldered Hawk from SW USA?

    One has been reported from this location (Desert National Game Range in southern Nevada) but it's new to me and I'm not confident about the ID. Thanks

    N. Am. hybrid Eurasian Collared Dove?

    N. Am. hybrid Eurasian Collared Dove?

    Good point, I hadn't considered that. It's just that this is a fairly comon year round yard bird despite what the range maps say, and this is the first I'd seen. Thanks

    After twenty minutes of calling one finally showed itself, circling the car before alighting on a bush about 50 m away where it was joined by another (lower right inside bush).They continued to answer the call for several minutes before leaving. Another lifer for me.

    We stopped in the middle of the desert and one guy had a caller and managed to call two very angry males. I was impressed

    N. Am. hybrid Eurasian Collared Dove?

    That is interesting. What corner of AZ would Whetstone be in?

    About 6 showed up at the feeders this week. Three male Hooded and one male Bullock's and at least 2 females. They almost hurt your eyes.

    For the second year in a row we've had Long Eared Owls succesfully nest at Corn Creek. This is one of four chicks. They remind of monkeys.

    I hear you. I shoot Sparrows and Kinglets every time I go out practicing for a good shot of one of the local Marsh Wrens. Someday soon I hope. This is a beauty.

    Truly an odd duck :) Along with everything else I really like the composition for its balance (no pun intended). This one is going to be tough to beat.
