Yes indeed but there are extremely lush tall trees along the river where
these birds were mostly seen...There is one big dead tree that I am told
they are often seen perched in on the river across from the east end of the
golf course. I saw them engaged in sexual activity in one of these trees
before I walked back to truck for my little camera....Too far for my Iphone.
