Late Monday morning about 11:30, I was out riding my horse about 1/2 km south of Hwy 24, about 2 km east of Hwy 25 (Ospringe area) when I heard birds calling. Looked up and 3 swans flying southeast. I am thinking they were tundra, but abit rusty on swans. They were calling and there may have been at least one other or more, but could not see them. Also saw 4 sightings of Pileated Woodpecker. Assuming the same bird, may have been 2. Also saw and heard nuthatches, chickadees, juncos, crows, sparrows. Lovely day for a ride.
Came home and was out walking at dusk, heard and saw a Great Horned Owl, I guess coming out from roosting to look for dinner.
Some days don't get better then that!!!!!!!!!!
Good birding
