Some sort of bird hit the truck on the way home, I think it might have been a Snipe. A fair size and it bent my truck antenae. Tomorrow is the the Sunday morning walk. Will report the results!

Evening Tour
Picked Deb's uncle up, we haven't been out much this year so I thought I would drag him along. He is a waterbird guy, but endures my search for mammals. We left town at 5:45 p.m. I was hoping to get to show him some Bluebirds as he has an appreciation for their beauty. Redtail hawks numbered in the 8-10 range, herd of Elk of about 100, 30-60 deer. We probably found 6-8 Bluebirds, but no acceptable photo's, one mature bald eagle. I did manage to snap this shot of a Northern Shrike:
After finding our designated moose, we also spotted two more on the way home. The light is poor, but I was shocked to see that this fella still had one of his antlers. This is the last day of March, unbelieveable!
I apologize for the poor quality, but it was getting late. We were quite disappointed that there were limited water birds around. He was hoping to see some mallards, and I was hoping to find a Red Winged Blackbird--true harbingers of spring:)
