I was paddling around Crappie Hollow in Blood River when a Pied billed
Grebe popped up in front of me. It quickly dove out of my way. I saw it once
more before it was out of my view.
The DC Cormorants have taken over the trees that the Purple Martin's
roosted on every year. I don't think the martins are coming back this year.
Today at Open Pond in Fulton County I came across a small group of
sandpipers. Least Sandpipers were expected but the Western Sandpiper was a
nice
surprise. Killdeer were gathered in every wet spot.
Listed below are the highlights of the last couple of days.
