I was able to paddle around the heron rookery at Kuttawa only once when
thunder and rain chased me back to shore this morning. BUT there is quite a
nursery there, and the smell is evidence of a packed "house".  Most numerous
were the cormorants, followed by cattle egrets, black-crowned night herons,
great egrets, great blues, and a snowy egret.
A light rain did not interfer with many migrants' songs as I drove along Ol
Ferry Rd. in LBL.  I had only to roll down my windows to hear them sing.

Checking on the Olive Branch Eagle nest in Marshall Co.  Today was the first
day the second juv. was not in the tree nor in the nest.  However, an adult
was in the tree.  I hope Jr. has survived the most difficult part of its
life, that of leaving the nest.
