Diane and I spent the morning from sunrise on, at Granger Lk. My first
visit to the lake area in about 3 years. Lots of birds but nothing
special. Except perhaps a bird over the lake we could not ID....Larger
than the many Black Terns but so distant and eat up with heat waves. It
might be of interest and is surely a Larid. No markings could be made
out on the wings but it was mostly just an all white blur working low over
the water. We lost it and it may have sat down on the surface
We looked for Buff-breasteds and Uplands etc. in the ag fields but it was
a near hopeless task given corn shucks blowing around and little plowed
under yet. Very dry. One Upland and 8 BBSAs were detected and only because
they were in flight
Nothing else of note except maybe the single Spoonbill. Lots of Yellow
Warblers. A Pileated was a HO below the dam. No Tricoloreds..???
50-60 species for the morning
