For over a month I have been seeing lots of Great Egrets on a dairy pasture
outside Turner. They move from one part to another, but for 5 or 6 weeks there
have been between 12 and 25 of them, usually with several Great Blue Herons,
which are harder to see against the green grass. I have not devoted much energy
to watching them because I go there for another purpose, but I always count
them when I arrive, and today the number remained on the high side of the
range. I noticed a GBHE taking flight and saw the reason – a Bald Eagle flying
over. Another first was a Pacific Wren hanging around the barn at my
destination, which is not in a wooded area.
The pasture is on Cook Rd, a gravel farm road that goes east from Parrish Gap
Rd, which runs along the edge of the valley just east of the Salem Hills. Cook
Rd is south of Cloverdale School.
