I spent some time at Sauerheber Unit of the Sloughs WMA for the first time in a while. It is definitely summer for birding. I was surprised to see a imm/juv Bald Eagle on the nest at Anderson Pond. I haven't seen any around the nests in a while. Only saw 3 warblers (or 2, it seems chats may not actually be warblers from what I have read.) Saw many swallows on power lines yesterday and today, but did not stop to ID. The Wood Duck trapping sand-spit at Pond Creek Marsh is being set up again and is baited.
