[QUOTE="Larry Lade, post: 1430977, member: 2676"] As I have been more or less "home bound" for the past month due to a bout with pneumonia, I decided this morning that after I viewed the Red Crossbills which have been coming to our backyard feeders I would venture out around the oxbows lakes area south of Saint Joseph, Missouri. Well, the crossbills did not show up until 10:52 AM. Although, not an ideal time to go out birding I headed down south to the oxbows. From about 11 AM to 2 PM I was somewhat surprised that I found as much as I did! I will just list what I saw in taxomonic order with all the birds being seen in the Lake Contrary area (as that is what I birded first). If something new was seen elsewhere, I have included that in ( ). Greater White-fronted Goose Canada Goose Wood Duck Gadwall American Wigeon (FOY, I told you I have not been out for awhile!) Mallard Blue-winged Teal (FOY) CINNAMON TEAL (FOY), a male in the company of Blue-winged and Green-winged Teal in water along Nelson Road) Northern Shoveler Northern Pintail (FOY) Green-winged Teal Ring-necked Duck Lesser Scaup (FOY) Bufflehead (FOY) Common Goldeneye Hooded Merganser Common Merganser Ruddy Duck Pied-billed Grebe (FOY) Red-tailed Hawk American Kestrel American Coot (FOY) Killdeer Lesser Yellowlegs - 2 (FOY) Ring-billed Gull Rock Pigeon Eurasian Collared-Dove (Stockyards) Mourning Dove Red-bellied Woodpecker Downy Woodpecker (Our yard) Northern Flicker (Our yard) Blue Jay (Our yard) American Crow Horned Lark Carolina Wren (Our yard) Eastern Bluebird (Mud Lake) American Robin Northern Mockingbird European Starling American Tree Sparrow Song Sparrow Dark-eyed Junco Northern Cardinal Red-winged Blackbird Eastern Meadowlark Western Meadowlark Common Grackle Great-tailed Grackle (Stockyards) House Finch (Our yard) Red Crossbill (same three as have being coming in our yard for over a month) American Goldfinch (Our yard) House Sparrow (Our yard) [/QUOTE]
