Another beautiful day for birding on the refuge. Coots seem to have cleared
out some, but there are still many around. They were "huddled" up into
rafts on both the big lake and the numerous fresh water ponds on west lake
road. A Northern Harrier pursued one lone individual as he struggled to
regain the huddle. A pair of White-tailed were obviously mated and ready to
nest. We added Neotropic Cormorant and Yellow-crowned Night-heron for the
first time today.
Tour season is winding down, call for information and reservations.

On the bird walk around the visitor center we witnessed a Cooper's Hawk nab
a blackbird amid a flurry of black feathers and frenzied squawks at the
water feature near the gazebo.
