Subject: Coddle Creek Res. and vagrant from down under, mink


Just got back from Coddle Creek Reservoir along hw. 136 to see how migration
is doing. Don't know if this is worth it after noticing Taylor's post. It
was
sort of rough standing on a bridge with Ford F-350's and Dodge Ram's zipping
by at 60 mph in 93 degree heat with 60% humidity after leaving my water
bottle at home, but still turned up some good birds.(there are safer places
to stand, but not as good views.)

Green Heron-1
Little Blue Heron-2, both in white juvenile plumage
GB Heron-1
Great Egret-4
Osprey-1
Black Vulture-2
Solitary Sandpiper-1
Semipalmated Sandpiper-10
Lesser Yellowlegs-5
Greater Yellowlegs-2
Pectoral Sandpiper-6
Spotted Sandpiper-2
Kildeer-1
LEUCISTIC COCKATIEL- this guy or gal was hangin' out on the wires and the
surrounding bushes, unafraid and very handsome
Cliff Swallow-10
Orchard Oriole-3
Field Sparrow-2

one Mink quickly ducked out of cover as soon as we drove up
