after several weeks absence, I returned to the pond hoping for some ducks.
I had a small (10) flotilla of coots, and a larger one of American Widgeon,
several pie-billed grebes, one DC cormorant, and 2 of what I think were
Ruddies based on size and form. Maybe this year will be a good one despite
the Mute swans. Also had my first white-throated sparrow at the pond and
one I could not readily id. Great blue heron was present along with
cardinals. Many butterflies and dragonflies. Pond is in NE Orange Co I
had my first RC kinglet in the yard along woth a mature Red Winged
blackbird. It is not a common visitor but ususally I have juveniles. Yard
is in Hillsborough. barb brooks
