3/21/08 highlights:
Great Blue Heron - 12 in heronry
Double-crested Cormorant - 12-15 roosting under heronry
Gadwall - 12
Osprey - first sighting since 12/23/07
Bald Eagle - 1 adult
Northern Harrier -1
American Coot -3
Tree Swallow - 100+
Eastern Bluebird - 4 (have begun checking out nesting boxes)
Brown Thrasher -1
Eastern Towhee - 6
White-throated Sparrow - 10+
White-crowned Sparrow - 1
Swamp Sparrow -1
I watched the Osprey catch his dinner and out of nowhere came an adult Bald
Eagle - the Bald Eagle chased down the Osprey and took his fish. An awesome
moment!
Noticeably missing here are Wood Ducks - we had up to 4 pairs on a regular
basis during March of 2006 and 2007.
Took a ride over to Horton Ford Road, Hancock County, to check on Bald Eagle
nest. Adult sitting on nest with mate nearby. Based on 34-36 day incubation
period, I'm hoping for hatching to occur sometime early next week.
