Dear Birders,
It looks like things are heating up here at the Greenview heron rookery.
This morning I counted five herons in the trees - some of them squabbling.
Yesterday I observed herons carrying in nesting materials.
(One was carrying a 40 pound bag of concrete!)
I'm psyched! Hopefully we'll have an even bigger colony than last year.
Other recent sightings: hooded mergansers, ring necked ducks, kingfisher,
shrike, coopers hawk, one green winged teal.
