I did the Sloughs again on Saturday. Covered Sauerheber, Grassy Pond, Highland Creek units. Both adult Eagles again near the nest and I managed to see both Eagle chicks. Its easier to see the nest from the east side of the slough rather than the west. But as the trees leaf out it will get harder to see it through the slough. Saw first Pectoral Sandpipers and first Yellow-throated warbler of the season. This is the earliest I have ever seen Great egrets. At Sauerheber there were 4, and at Highland Creek 10.
