Minor Clark Fish Hatchery
Cedar Waxwings
Eastern Bluebirds
Yellow-rumped Warblers
Palm Warblers
Blue Jays
Cardinals
Robins
Red-winged Blackbirds
Eastern Phoebes
1 Snow Goose (Blue Morph - same one as before)
7 Killdeer
2 Pectoral Sandpipers
6 Pied-billed Grebes together in one of the large ponds
Canada Geese
Mallards
1 Green Heron
7+ Great Blue Heron
Belted Kingfishers
Red Shouldered Hawk who was mobbed by the crows each time he attempted to
catch prey on the ground.
Perhaps it's been the days that I've been at the Fish Hatchery but it
certainly wasn't as productive for shorebirds this year as in the past.
Also, I've only seen a couple of wood ducks, 2 Blue-winged Teal and a few
Mallards in the past. I haven't seen the Peregrine Falcon since the first
visit so I'm not sure that I can blame him.
