Gibson County Lake
Gibson County
I received a call from a fishing friend about a flock of big white birds out at
the lake so my 10 year old daughter and I drove out there to investigate. I
immediately spotted the birds resting in the shallows and my hunch was correct,
they were Am. White Pelicans. We had several interesting birds on and around
the lake:
Am. White Pelican - 8
DC Cormorant - 2
Great Egret - 3
Black Tern - 8
Canada Goose - 3
Bald Eagle - 2
Purple Martin - 6
There was a large group (30+) of vultures, mostly Turkey Vultures with a few
Blacks mixed in, coming off of a roost. We also had very cooperative looks at a
Great Blue Heron having a fish dinner and a couple of brightly colored American
Goldfinches.
Good birding,
