Greg Harris was in town from Nashville, so we took an early morning trip to
bird along the Mendota River. It was a really good day to be out birding. We
observed three Osprey within the circle area. We also observed a male Eastern
Bluebird and a male Baltimore Oriole sitting on a limb only two feet from each
other, while birding near the swinging bridge.
