The flooded Colorado River is already dropping here and both parks Big
and Little near Webberville are open but the boat ramps remain closed of
course. Bad but nothing like the 1991 floods which flooded both parks
completely and closed the flooded the bridge at 969 for us locals as well
as the Wibarger Ck bridge...on Lower Elgin. They are both well off the
water.
Lots of birds this morning..Lots of sparrows have arrived. Interesting
was a rough count I made of 56 Caracaras in wet fields feeding on drowned
earthworms and whatever else came up from the ground...The park road in Big
Webberville was littered with dead earthworms. Had a single Bald Eagle.
Best bird I suppose was a late Summer Tanager and yellow warbler I just
could get my shoulder high enough to look at well (I took a tumble :-).
Probably a Wilson,s but might be wrong ...both in the Big Park
Blue Jays and Crows are everywhere as well a couple of huge flocks of
Wht-winged Doves.
Also a bit off topic, but I checked my old phone today where I could
finally get coverage...There were oodles of messages and text on there
often on decent birds...Pls. note the phone number in the signature is the
only one that I get any decent coverage on...the old number I rarely
check.. I regret missing some of those messages and there were text notes
from phone no.s I did not recognize on a bunch..
