Ten Birders joined Eileen and Jim today on the ILT and the group was able to tally at least 35 species. Bev Hansen spoke about Mary Dowdell's recent passing and I dedicated the walk to Mary's wonderful memory.
It was a beautiful morning and our participants were so appreciative of the birds we saw. At the start, a mob of A. CROWS were upset at a BARRED OWL in the big oak tree by the parking area. Among other highlights, were good
looks at 2 YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERs and a PRAIRIE WARBLER, a soaring BALD EAGLE, group of 4 flying SANDHILL CRANEs, many E. BLUEBIRDs, several COMMON GROUND DOVEs, a LITTLE BLUE HERON in a small cypress tree, and a somewhat unusual, for Cooter Pond, OSPREY flying over looking for breakfast.
