Becky Currin and I kayaked at Pocahontas on Sunday afternoon. What a
glorious day! An adult Bald Eagle kept circling overhead. It perched
in a tall pine for a while. A Broad-winged Hawk that we saw perched on
the top of a dead tree caught a thermal and rode on out of there. I
heard a Yellow-billed Cuckoo and a very agitated Pileated Woodpecker.
A Belted Kingfisher hit the water with a big splash and caught lunch.
Two Great Egrets stalked their prey and made a beautiful picture
walking through flowering lily pads. Immature Eastern Phoebes seemed
to be everywhere. Sadly the fish weren't biting but it certainly was
great weather for the dog days of August.
