Highlights within the town limits of Lamar (Prowers) yesterday (Sunday the 20th) and today (21st):
Lamar Community College Woods
Northern Cardinal (1 pair)
Carolina Wren (1)
Eastern Towhee (1m) no doubt same bird first reported by Duane Nelson over a week ago, seen in thickets east of the now-stocked feeders e of the road behind the college e of the library (which is well north of the area where first reported in the southeast part of the woods near the cable and junipers). OK photos of the bird obtained which seem to indicate the bird, as Duane suggested, is a "good" Eastern bird. The black back is very faintly streaked with blackish-brown, which probably indicates it is a young bird. It has a row of small white spots forming one wing-bar (think Orion's belt), but that is OK for a pure bird as indicated by various references.
Brown Thrasher (1)
Pine Siskin (7-8)
Townsend's Solitaire (1-2)
Total of 28 species seen (very birdy, especially in the northern half, most individuals being Red-winged Blackbirds, European Starlings, Dark-eyed Juncos, American Robins, and Cedar Waxwings, plus a flyover of about 300 geese, all "white-cheeked", which are distinctly more uncommon in the Lamar area than "white" geese)
Riverside Cemetery (Maple Street e of Main, north end of town)
