Richard Stevens: As one can tell from the publication dates, I have been rather lax in updating the blog. Tired tonight (not from Turkey as I do not like it), I will try to be more diligent and write less flat postings!
While waiting for our three turkeys to cook, nine of us searched for the Common Ground-Dove near the Wayside Rest Stop (Sedgwick). It was not found today. Two Rusty Blackbirds were our consolation prize.
Later we dropped by Ovid and walked from the northern woods to the sewage ponds. A male Red-bellied Woodpecker drummed along Lodgepole Creek, behind the high school.
The Purple Finch was found again southeast of 2nd and Monroe Street! Again, it was observed flying west into town.
A Brown Thrasher was relocated east of Lodgepole Creek, north of the Monroe Street Bridge.
No Stub tailed Wren or Northern Cardinal could be found today.
A White-throated Sparrow was among a dozen White-crowned Sparrows and a few Song Sparrows at the old Ovid sewage pond area.
Shortly after dusk, we heard an Eastern Screech-Owl call at Roger Danka's ranch! It was a decent end to a gorgeous Thanksgiving day! Temperatures reached the middle 60s; winds were calm.
