Joe Giunta, Debbie Martin and I (Sy Schiff) went to Captree SP this morning where a very cooperative group of birders shared sightings and assisted new arrivals to locate the three birds, namely, Dickcissel, Western Kingbird and Common Ground Dove. We were helped (thanks guys) and we helped others. Unfortunately, when our group found the Dove, it stayed just long enough to check the ID against a picture and phone Shai to get the word out. At that point a truck entering the boat ramp lot flushed it. We stayed an additional hour to try to help the others relocate it, but without success.
A slight detour going home by the Jones Nature Center resulted in finding the very active Northern Shrike flying out from perches at the top of bare shrubs or medium sized pines.
