Our history began in October 2002 when a Blue-mockingbird appeared, and stayed for two years. In 2003, a Slate-throated Redstart visited for two days. Then, in 2004 a Black-headed Nightingale Thrush was documented in our sanctuary, a U.S. first! It stayed for six months.Allen Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388922327682638001noreply@blogger.comBlogger31100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5097648098637917406.post-76490277093198855392010-12-22T21:40:00.000-08:002010-12-22T21:40:30.892-08:00Thanks Doug,<br />Your patience produced.&nbsp; I am glad you and your parents got good looks at Mrs. Grosbeak.&nbsp; Today she was calling much more and most active in the morning.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5097648098637917406-7649027709319885539?l=williamswildlifesanctuary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Allen Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388922327682638001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5097648098637917406.post-38707325068565433152010-11-21T13:19:00.000-08:002010-11-21T13:19:48.433-08:00Enjoyed stalking the Crimson-collared Grosbeak with Jeff Shenot this morning.&nbsp; Jeff got some video of her perched above us in a mesquite after hearing her&nbsp;distinctive call.&nbsp; She continues to be most active in the morning, calling and feeding in the mid to upper canopys.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5097648098637917406-3870732506856543315?l=williamswildlifesanctuary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Allen Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388922327682638001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5097648098637917406.post-51779601667890419182010-11-21T09:00:00.000-08:002010-11-21T09:00:25.798-08:00Bob,<br /><br />Congratulations on number 717!&nbsp; What an adventure you have been on, thanks for sharing with us!&nbsp; We wish you lots of luck on your bird count and safe travel along the way!&nbsp; You can follow Bob at <a href="http://www.bobsbirds.blogspot.com/">http://www.bobsbirds.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />God Bless,<br />Allen<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5097648098637917406-5177960166789041918?l=williamswildlifesanctuary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Allen Williamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12388922327682638001noreply@blogger.com0
