Possible Eared Grebe seen from the dam road on the west side of Lake Hefner.

A little farther down the road, we saw another Eastern Meadowlark singing on a wire.

Western Meadowlark

Common Grackle

Perhaps a female Red-Winged Blackbird

Perhaps another immature White-Crowned Sparrow, or a Chipping Sparrow. Not sure how to interpret the rosy-rufous color on the sides under the wings; not finding an exact match.

A pair of Killdeer

Two Yellow-Headed Blackbirds with a flock of Red-Winged Blackbirds on the south side of the lake near the road

The owl settled in on its new perch and seemed to be looking right at us.

Female barn swallow

A male Red-Winged Blackbird scratched in the dried mud on the right side of the road (north side of the lake)

After leaving Hackberry Flat and heading home, just as we turned north from Highway 5, we noticed our FOS Scissor-Tail Flycatcher on a power line on the east side of the road--a rosy-breasted beauty

Pine Siskin at feeder in John and Marion's backyard

Taken through our back window. The blackbird seemed to prefer the company of the cowbirds and flew into the neighbors' yard with a half-dozen of them and foraged in the grass before coming back into our yard with them.

There were high winds (67mph), a high of only mid-50s today, and it was to get into the 30s tonight. The birds seemed to know it and flocked to our feeders and seed on the ground. This is the most goldfinches we have seen in a while.

White throat indicates Myrtle variety of YRW, an adult male.

Carolina wren seemed to be making an alert call (repeated upward trill) over and over, rather than singing.

We listened to this brown thrasher sing his mimicking song loudly for 5 minutes before flying away.

This robin sat still on the path while we snapped pictures up close, then walked right by without its moving.

White-Crowned Night Heron
Yukon City Park

Lincoln Sparrow in the willow saplings on the east side of the lake at YCP.

The other bird

Snowy egret again. Notice turtle behind on the log.

Tri-Colored Heron on the north side of Lake Overholser

Spotted Sandpiper

Adult Franklin's Gull near where the Tri-Colored Heron was seen.

On the northwest side of the lake, just before 36th Street, we saw what appeared to be a young Baltimore Oriole.

Never managed to get a photo of an adult on the nest with the young one's head at the opening, although there were several where someone was looking out of the hole next door.

Cattle Egret and big cow which calmly let the egret pick at it.

Scissor-Tail Flycatcher with grasshopper dinner.
