A pleasant and cool afternoon today but mostly quiet. Highlights were a cooperative Marsh Wren and a roosting Great Blue Heron. The Belted Kingfishers were loud, as always, and a Red-shouldered Hawk was shrieking a bit. The Red-winged Blackbirds put on a show while the returned to thereeds. I could not find the American Woodcock or Barred Owl. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S12305729 photos at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gordonbird/ Elliott M.
