American Crows - 11 Nov 2018

Robin had class in Ann Arbor Sunday afternoon, so I spent a couple of hours driving around looking for birds. The pond at Scio Church Rd and Parker Rd. was now frozen. The Spotted Redshank was last seen 5 days ago and is presumed long gone. Only Killdeer remain.

A Cackling Goose was reported among the thousand or so Canada Geese that were hanging out at the Avis Farm industrial park. I drove around looking for it, but failed to find it.

Meanwhile, another 1000 or so American Crows were covering the trees, grass and buildings of the industrial complex, so I tried to get some digiscoped images from inside the car while hand-holding the scope. It was a difficult go as the birds were spooking and lighting was a challenge. Still, it was better than listening to the Lions get their tails whipped by the Bears...
