2 birders donned their fleece Easter bonnets and paddled all of Harrison Lake
this morning. Although the sun didn't shine the winds were calm and not a drop
of rain fell. We tallied 35 species in all and saw a lot of beaver activity
along the shoreline and emerging buds on trees and bushes. The lake level was
quite high making it easy to navigate in the back among the gum trees. We
really thought we heard a Yellow-throated warbler call 2x-but wanted to hear it
at least one more time or see it-neither of which happened......
Highlights:
Wood Duck (many)
Mallard
Black Duck
Bald Eagle (immature)
Red-Tailed Hawk
Wild Turkey (5)
Downy Woodpecker
Hairy Woodpecker
Red-Bellied Woodpecker
Northern Flicker
Tree Swallow
Barn Swallow
Golden-crowned Kinglet
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Eastern Bluebird (pair)
Phoebe (pair)
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Pine warbler
Rufous-sided Towhee
Rusty Blackbird
Chipping Sparrow
...and the other usual suspects.
Peaceful morning.
