Saturday morning I scanned the Mississippi River from Mud Island, very little
going up river but a lot of water going down. The Mississippi is still on a
steady rise, going from 15 feet to 30 feet in the last 30 days.
Just as I was about to leave, I noted a small flock of 10 birds flying under
the bridge and coming my way. All looked and flew like Little Blue Herons but
one had a different cadence. It was worth the wait as they slowly made there
way past the odd bird out was an adult Tri-colored Heron. Later in the day we
found another at Bald Knob NWR and it was also an adult.
Any rookeries should be checked for these birds for nesting activity. Maybe
we can get another nest in Tennessee.
Good Birding!!!
