November 2022 Monthly Challenge

[Harrier]

While almost all of the migratory species have made their way through, November can still tally a relatively high number of species. November offers a great opportunity to see thousands of Bald Eagles and other birds, mostly waterfowl, at the Chehalis Estuary. November is also a great month to explore Tuyttens Wetlands for waterfowl, sparrows, and many other different bird species.

On Interprovincial Rd, just south of No.5 Rd, there was a group of Killdeer in a muddy field that also had dirty Mallards.
North of No.5 Rd, there was a small class of Brewers Blackbirds(yellow eyes), mixed with a herd of Brown-Headed Cowbirds (brown head and neck, dark eyes) on the telephone wires. That was today at about 1:30 PM that I drove bye. Klaus
