This afternoon, my mom took Nolan and I to re-find Jan Shaw's previously
reported Red-throated Loon. We circled the lake and found the bird at the exact
location she mentioned, and of all things a Red-necked Grebe was swimming along
right beside it! Other interesting waterfowl include lots of Double-crested
Cormorants on Little Elder Island and a male Red-breasted Merganser by the
Pumping Station.
Many swallows were flying about - a couple of Rough-wings, Trees, Barns, and
Purple Martins.
We confirmed Jan's calling Fish Crow. Two were together (perhaps a mated pair?)
and at least one more was in a different location. There were many crows flying
and walking in various locations around the lake, but I'm not skilled enough to
ID them without hearing them. :) If anyone is interested, I recorded the
calling Fish Crows and am willing to send the recording to you. It certainly
isn't the greatest recording, but nevertheless, it's documentation!
Enjoy the last of the ducks and get ready for the warblers!
