Monday's summary in prospect

Just as some snow flurries were observed today noontime,likewise a species with the namesake shows up . On a personal note it was good to see some interesting birds.

This midmorning ,birders spotted a single Snow Goose along prospect lake west shore. Hanging out with a few Canada geese, I failed to find it after my lunch hour. There might have been a small flock of 5 " different " flyover geese according to an observer that produced the snow goose.

On a personal note I finally got to see one of three tardy warblers of Well Drive: American Restart. The adult male hyper actively moved up slope from the shipping containers.

At the feeders where I was joined by Kathy and Bob, two Yellow bellied sapsuckers capped our list. Thanks to Kathy spotting,both male sapsuckers played "tag" on the big tree behind the feeders. A Fox Sparrow joined in with at least 8 Red winged blackbirds devouring seed.

On a side note, well drive spots continue to be go-to spots. Cooper's hawk, 2 purple finches and red tailed hawk were seen by the picnic tables.
