The location of the egret rookery at Rankin changes frequently - yesterday
evening it was in a swampy grove near Holt Town Rd, about a mile north of
the Rankin Bridge. We watched waders flying in for a while; presumably
there were more at roost that we couldn't see.
Lake level at Douglas was at 991.8, more than 2 ft. below this summer's
peak, and dropping; some mudflats may be exposed by Sunday (991.3
predicted). A few killdeer, the first returing shorebirds we've seen this
season, foraged in some grassy shallows,.
Notable:
Wood Duck (62)
Double-crested cormorant (75)
Great blue heron (21)
Great egret (63)
Little blue heron (9: 8 imm., 1 adult)
Green heron (17)
Black-crowned night-heron (22)
Osprey (12)
Bald eagle
Killdeer (6)
Belted kingfisher (6)
Red-headed woodpecker (3)
Eastern kingbird
Tree swalow (100s)
