Wonder if it has something to do with nocturnal migration patterns? Certainly lowers the spirits some, but the awareness you're raising on this trip is great so keep those spirits up!<BR/>--Katura<BR/>http://kr-cn.livejournal.com/Katurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436424418104650157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235604935131499758.post-3039208626299578402007-12-13T08:37:00.000-08:002007-12-13T08:37:00.000-08:00Hello Team Bird Year!I've been doing a Canada to M...Hello Team Bird Year!<BR/><BR/>I've been doing a Canada to Mexico ride (just a fraction of your grand adventure) and in the last few weeks started noticing bird roadkill too--didn't see any in Canada, Washington, or Oregon, but when we hit central California it was suddenly common to see warblers, vireos, sparrows, or even egrets and coots dead on the shoulder.

Common Mergansers and American Dippers along the river; hundreds of Bohemian Waxwings at Mountain Ash trees; Pine Grosbeaks, various chickadees, Downy and Hairy woodpeckers, and a few Dark-eyed Juncos have settled in at feeders; and the occasional Northern Hawk Owl seen around town. It's winter birding in the Yukon!<BR/><BR/>Malkolm's list of 374 species (and climbing) is <I>absolutely amazing</I>!!<BR/><BR/>All the best on your travels!yukonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396173832904462576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7235604935131499758.post-6759728617025807242007-12-03T09:01:00.000-08:002007-12-03T09:01:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.yukonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13396173832904462576noreply@blogger.com
