Around 3 pm Sunday, we walked to the far end of the boat dock @
Volunteer landing. After observing Barn & Rough-winged Swallows
working the river, Leigh spotted a Black Crowned Night Heron
roosting in a nearby tree beside the water. Upon further review,
I found another Black Crowned Night Heron down low near the
water?s edge within 30 feet of the other heron.
On a noon trip just prior to Sequoyah Park , we saw a Common
Tern, an Osprey in the large nest at the sand barge area, 35
Great Blue Herons flying over the water, 13 Great Blue Herons
seen on nests @ the rookery, Rough-winged Swallows, & Blue-grey
Gnatcatchers.
Sharp?s Ridge trips Friday evening, Saturday morning & Sunday
morning yielded a beautiful orange/ black American Redstart,
Blue Headed Vireo, 2 Hooded Warblers, Black Throated Green
Warblers, Black & White Warblers, 2 Red-breasted Nuthatches,
B-G Gnatcatchers, & a Prairie Warbler up close & personal (with
the help of Richard Smith?s good ear?). Ovenbirds were heard
also.
The Common Loon reported last week at Adair Park was still on
the small pond this past Saturday. For anyone interested in
seeing Minnesota?s state bird, you can get within 20 ft. of
this beautiful bird.
