On Saturday 31 March 2012 I obswerved three Common Loons at the Lake Ocoee Marina in Polk County. All three birds were in breeding plummage. This is only my secomd record of this species in the county. On 30 March 2012 I observed 14 Blue-winged Teal feeding on the upper end of Lake Ocoee/Parksville Lake. This was my first record of this species in the county. The Bald Eagle on the lake has two chicks that appear to be growing and doing very well. at least one adult Bald is at the nest at all times. The Great Horned Owl nest has two large chicks that are beginnig to replace the down with feathers. i have not seen an adult on the nest for at least two weeks. Rick Houlk Polk County
