Tweetie of the Day Well - this is a modified post. I was in the yard this morning, when I saw what I thought was a pair of Northern Shrikes zooming by overhead. From my vantage point, I thought I saw very distinctive white patches on the underside of the wings - and the bird looked grey and had a distinctive call. Well, I was in the yard again this evening when the pair of birds went zooming by again. I was still thinking Shrike until I got a good look at the profile - big long honking beaks. And then one of pair broke away, tucked its wings and dove straight down into the water. Duh - Belted Kingfishers. sigh... comment []12:23:44 PM
