Although the number of species was low, we had some great observations of young birds. Standing on the side of the hill provided a great vantage point in which to observe. A 1st Summer Black Crowned Night Heron flew near as did many Barn and Cliff Swallows. Several White Throated Swifts were also present. We found Pied-billed Grebes and American Coots sitting on nests. We also found two adult Common Moorhens and one adult sized Juvenile Moorhen. We observed this juvenile bird on a grassy perch preening itself. When it was done it looked around and started to softly call. It soon entered the water and appeared to be looking for its parents. Also found many Brown headed Cowbirds. In the water channel a muskrat offered great views as we observed it eating vegetation. Who would have thought, a night at the sewage pond is better than a day at work! Don't tell my boss I said that. Lisa Myers _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
