They even breed in Windsor! :-) They have a great call as well. It sounds like: "Here I am, where are you?" repeated from the tree tops.

I don't think that is a yellow-rumped, as you point out, it does NOT have a yellow eyebrow, but the female black-throated Green does. The other candidate, Palm Warbler, has that rusty cap and a very distinct form. Lovely photo of the Tree Swallow (not Sparrow!). I have to get to Mud Lake again.

I am opposed to ...Thank you for posting about this. I am opposed to owl baiting for many reasons, including the ones you've cited here -- debated in the comments. One factor never brought up is the idea of animal cruelty for the sake of a photograph. I imagine the other commenters here would have a disdainful view of someone like me who questions the use of live animals for entertainment purposes. As a former wildlife rehabilitator, I am not naive to the realities of predator survival. But these situations are clearly for human amusement. And I find it distressing that anyone can enjoy the process of releasing a terrified, living creature in such a manner for their own personal desires. The disregard we humans sometimes have for the sentience of other species is heartbreaking to me. To deliberately put an animal in harm's way for the sake of your photography is a very low benchmark for field ethics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085946821546117983.post-85900333712789557752013-08-31T15:23:23.472-04:002013-08-31T15:23:23.472-04:00Been there... done that...
