Winter Birding Notes

I just wanted to share a few pages from my winter field notes...

If you have ever noticed small flocks of 10-30 birds that scatter from midwestern country roads as you drive by on a winter day it is very likely you are seeing Horned Larks.  

Another common winter bird is the Dark-Eyed Junco, we typically get Slate-Colored Juncos, but I recently had a western subspecies, the Oregon Junco show up in Illinois.

I always enjoy watching the Red-Headed Woodpeckers collect acorns in recently burned oak forests.
