During the holidays, I went to lower pierce for some birding. We went there in the evening, as we were not free in the morning. I had one lifer, which means I never saw that bird before. It was a striped tit babbler.

When leaving, I saw a big bird fly past. I saw it landed on the trunk of a tree. There could have been a cavity there. When I got there, no bird was found.
Although it was a short 30 minutes, the journey was fruitful.
Birds Rule!!! 
Congratulations on your lifer, JH!
I have birded in Lower Pierce and found in to be pretty good.
Thanks
Just a few months ago here in ETNA CALIFORNIA where i live i watched pair of WESTERN KINGBIRDS chase away a RED TAILED HAWK that must have been intruding into their territory and it was right over the down toen area
