Bristol Birder's

It was my pleasure to bird with Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hale this evening at =
Musick's Campground. When Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Coffey arrived they =
transitioned into the birding already in progress. If I remeber =
correctly Lorraine spotted the birds while Carolyn ID'd them. Meanwhile, =
Bert, Wallace and myself played musical scopes and told stories! Some of =
our highlights include: (1) Great White Heron, (4) Great Blue Herons, =
(1) Spotted Sandpiper, (1) Belted Kingfisher, (1) Common Tern, (1) =
Forester's Tern and (1) Black Tern.

Later, I took the family back to Steele Creek Park for another Owl prowl =
and got some breif video footage of the Great Horned Owl. Much to our =
surprise G. H. Owl  #1 was pursued by G. H. Owl #2 making a short =
squeling noise as if to be a baby  begging food. Wallace was able to =
confirm this behavior in a telephone call after the observation.

I am glad it is not July anymore!
