Google map of our day
At the cemetery we did see the baby owl again and my Daddy was looking for Green Herons but we did not find them. Then we saw 3 Northern Flickers and they were fighting and we saw 2 Killdeer. Then we went to see the Brown Thrasher and we found it and it had a yellow eye and it was so cool and we found a Cardinal. It was a male and then we went to Bolton Flats and Pine Hill Grasslands and we did not find the Ruffed Grouse but we found a Chipping Sparrow and a Osprey and it had a fish and it was the second one of the day. there were 2 people at Bolton Flats that were nice that knew about my blog and talked to my daddy (John Hoye and Audrey). Also another birder was there that never had a Ruffed Grouse before!!! (David Bernstein) and at the next spot we found 3 Yellow-Belled Sapsuckers and they were fighting and I fed sheep at the barn at the Audubon place. We also went to my favorite store!
