Tuesday is not Friday, I know, but I forgot to post this last week.

So here is my Skywatch Friday post. I haven’t been able to take many photos lately. School is busy and there has been a lot of snow. Happy Skywatch!

Is it a hawk? an eagle? or a really cool illusion?

I was tagged for a top five meme to list my top five birds that I would most like to add to my life list by Richie at An Arkies Musings.

That is a very tough question to answer! There are so many I would like to see.

1. Northern Gannet
2. Brown Pelican
3. Road Runner
4. Acorn Woodpecker
5. Stellers Jay

So now I have to pass the tag along to five others and I pick:Your Top Five Dream Birding Locations

I tag - Birdchick
I tag - 10000Birds
I tag - The Zen Birdfeeder
I tag - Wrenaissance Reflections
I tag - Iowa Voice

Good birding everyone!

Yesterday we went to Williams Tree Farm to find the perfect Christmas tree. All the family rode on a “two-horse open wagon” out to where the trees were. The farm has many trees but also has eleven golden retreivers that live there! We got a Colorado Blue Spruce and will be decorating it on Friday. I cannot wait!

While we were out there we saw a Rough-legged Hawk and a bunch of Dark-eyed Juncos and American Tree Sparrows. We also looked for a reported Snowy Owl but did not find one. We did see Horned Larks and Snow Buntings along the road.
