This morning 5:45, found a company of Pipits
active on a stubble field; 8 Brewer Blackbirds flew over.
In the night I heard 2 Black-crowned Night Herons
flying over, northward. Later this morning, I saw
3 separate Sharp-shinned Hawks. The extensive
willow bottoms here doubtless provide forage all
winter for the predators; at 3 small birds a day,
these 3 hawks would account for 600 birds
in 7 months! After breakfast, I worked the
willow-bottom below the ranch. Saw at least 4
thrushes; the two shot represented two species.
