On Sunday, Cathy Baldwin saw this bobcat on Patty Munford's dock on the upper reaches of Lagrange Creek which is upriver from Urbanna. Both Cathy and Patty have been on bird walks with us. They are on Swanview Drive...and every year the Tundra swans are there...sometimes in great numbers. Last year there was a flock of about 60 hooded mergansers in their creek. (I had no hooded mergansers in my cove off Robinson's Creek last year....and I have had a flock of 12 for the last few years.) I first saw buffleheads in my cove on Monday (after being away for 5 days). There was a flock of 19 in the cove this morning. There is also a pair of hooded mergansers. Hope they hang around.The bald eagles are hanging out around their nest. And my little screech owl is back roosting in the purple martin bird house down by the dock! This is the 3rd or 4th year he's been here. He seems to have a lease on apartment 1-A.
