Hi all....
  My wife and I made a trip to Hog Island today, unfortunately, the refuge was 
closed to the public  for a special goose hunt this morning. also dove Hunting 
started at noon today. If the American White Pelican was still around I know he 
took off when the first goose was fired at. There was a posting on bulletin 
board on dove hunting at the Carlisle tract. It will being going for the month 
of September on Wed and Sat. at noon.  Also Oct 8 to Nov 8, Dec 31 to Jan 10 
Daily. There will be special deer and water foul hunting the rest of the year.( 
There is no hunting on Sunday!)
   The were only hunting on Hog Island, so we were  able  to bird the Rd going 
to the Boat Ramp on the  Carlisle tract. We found some nice birds I had never 
birded the area in the morning, it was just a quick stop on the way out of Hog. 
Highlights Chestnut Sided , Prairie, Northern Parula  and Pine Warblers,  
Red-eyed Vireos everywhere , Baltimore Oriole, Scarlet tanagers, 3 different 
Flycatchers one was a Great- Crested. I don't even want to guess at the other 
two. also Bald 
Eagle, lot of Blue-Gray gnatcatchers Wood-ducks and 8 Juvenile Wild Turkeys.
