Threw together some record photos of the TOSO in Hamilton on Oct 11, 2012 -

Makes me feel like I should get out birding! And I probably will! (hopefully the day this auto-posts - monday) ......

Thursday.... Time to get out and bird, people!
Of course this happens the one week I absolutely can't get out birding...and no rarities found at LP yesterday despite an intensive search!!!
ReplyDeleteTime for that one-day mega to show up!
