3 stayed over last night. Piper, Channing and Chris. We all got along fine. Everyone was up at 7 this morning. I had ITO 204 Birding from 8:30-11 this morning. Saw many birds including Cedar Waxwing, Baltimore Oriole, Gray Catbird, Brown Thrasher, Kentucky Warbler (heard), Song sparrow, Indigo Bunting, Downy Woodpecker, Northern Cardinal, Great Crested Flycatcher, Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch, Red-bellied Woodpecker. Plants included Catbrier, Green Milkweed and Winged Elm. Mike also pointed out an Umbrella plant (tree) from Japan. Lunched with Lissa & Tina, then we shopped for books. We decided on Peterson coloring books to help learn species. I bought birds & butterflies along with a new wildflower guide that I can make enlarged copies from.
In the afternoon we watched a Raptor Rehab program as ITO 204 from 1:30-3. Including Barred Owl, Long-eared Owl, Barn Owl, Red-Shouldered Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, Ferruginous Hawk. Having a bit of quiet time at the house now and reading. Verified that instead of Brambles growing near the house it is one of the roses, probably Multiflora Rose. Note the deeply fringed stipules. Have I misidentified these elsewhere?
