Highlights from the past few days:
4/16/05 Saturday
Green Heron (2)
Great Egret (2)
Wood Duck Pair
male RTH
Mallards
Cliff Swallows are nesting at Beech Creek Bridge, Tunnel Hill Road
2 Eastern Phoebes also sighted flying under bridge and perching on bridge beams
4/17/05 Sunday
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers arrived
During kayak paddle to Beech Creek and beyond:
Barn Swallows appear to be nesting in duck blind
Blue-winged Teal (4)
Wood Ducks (8-10)
American Coot (1)
Great Blue Heronry - 9 nests, plus one single nest upriver
Osprey (2)
It was interesting to watch one continue flying with a fish in its talons, for
several minutes, showing off for a second osprey - perhaps trying to attract a
mate?
Have not located any osprey nest yet, although one along the river off McKinney
Chapel Road bears watching. Nest seems to have appropriate shape, but appears
small. Watched an osprey perched in a tree nearby for about 40 minutes, but it
never moved. Still have a lot of lake to kayak in my search.
