In our Joplin, Jasper County,
residential yard:
I heard an Eastern Screech Owl
and
a Great Horned Owl early this
morning, 10-5.
We have one of two Ruby-throated
Hummingbirds
that prefers to sit on the
clothesline rope between
feedings.
The Scissor-tailed count at MSSU
was 30
this evening, 6:55 to 7:10 pm.,
Joplin.
McDonald County:
Joyce Haynes phoned and reported
20 Snowy Egrets and
400 Cattle Egrets along Hwy. 90
in fields between
Southwest City and Noel, MO.
early this afternoon.
I suppose locusts are lethargic
and easy pickings in
this cool weather in those
fields.
