While in Nunn on Grant Street west of the town park a little after noon today I found a black Nikon binocular case (no strap). Contact me online if it's yours and we'll work out the return.
Judie Wright and I also saw the continuing female Varied Thrush (and we later showed it to Lori Pivonka). After an hour or so of not being present, the thrush flew into the park from the east, landed briefly in big elms, then went down to the ground in a yard on the west side of Grant w of the park. There it foraged extensively in the leaf litter under elms (my guess would be it is after adult European Elm Flea Weevils which overwinter in such sites). It eventually hopped a wooden privacy fence ("No Trespassing" sign) into the yard ("Beware of Dog" sign) s of the fence, then flew south staying w of Grant across 4th into a big elm and out of sight. If this bird is eating insects associated with Siberian Elms that overwinter in the leaf litter and upper inch of soil, it has lots of options in that neighborhood, including the grass part of the park. Whoever found and reported this bird, thank you.
