Most of the 2008 Big Sit crew at Indigo Hill in the birding tower.The sun is setting at 6:59 PM (the Blogger/Blogspot server clock is on weird time Pacific I think).
We broke the record!
Let me say that again:
WE BROKE THE RECORD!
Moments after I posted at noon, a small flock of GRACKLES flew over. Can you believe we broke then record with common grackle?
We tied the record with a red-headed woodpecker spotted by Ethan Kistler. Then the grackles. After common grackle, we got broad-winged hawk (spotted by me and ID'd by me and Jim McCormac) , then tree swallow (spotted by me and ID'd by several), and, finally (so far) scarlet tanager (spotted by Dick Esker and ID'd by me).
But we're still trying for #70....our new goal.
Thanks to all who wished us well. Hope your sit went swimmingly, too. The Big Sit
