The last place I would have expected to see my first Black Oyster Catcher was on a rock that is on an Iceberg in the middle of Glacier Bay Alaska. Not a great pic, it was at a distance and the boat was moving.

We have House Wrens nesting in a bird house hanging in the tree by our patio! It has been a few years since they last nested here. I have posted this video a few years ago when they last nested here, same box. I am worried about the House Sparrows so I ordered a hole reducer.

#TenMinMerlin 63F and cloudy, 19 birds this morning. The mystery of the Worm Eating Warbler is solved! Merlin is picking up a Chipping Sparrow as the WEW. As I was setting up to record I heard the Sparrow and saw Merlin pick it up as the WEW. Everything else was expected.
