We just sat there and watched as the NORTHERN FLICKERS, ACORN WOODPECKERS, NUTTALL'S WOODPECKERS, YELLO-RUMPED WARBLERS, and ROBINS flew from the trees lining the Trail to the little grove of pepper trees. A young RED-TAILED HAWK watched with us. One beautifully green headed COMMON MERGANSER male cruised by Heron Island in front of the GREAT BLUE and NIGHT HERONs. The BELTED KINGFISHER nearly made us duck for cover he made so much noise. The humans and the birds seem to be enjoying this great weather.
