Yesterday my wife and I walked a portion of the Levee from the Shallowford
Road entrance. While not expecting much we were pleased with several
sightings. At the first bend there was a handsome Red Shouldered Hawk sitting
on the
wires. In the horse pasture their were two Turkeys. Behind the school at
the point the open water narrows into the channel we spied an American
Bittern. A little farther up in the channel was a Ruddy Duck. In the large
area of
open water around mile 1.6 there were quite a few ducks including Gadwall
and an American Wigeon. On the walk back I saw an American Pintail in the
open
water behind the school. We also saw a Red Tailed hawk being chased by a
small flock of Bluejays. Other sightings were Red Winged Blackbird,
Yellow-Rumped Warbler, American Coots, Pied Billed Grebe, Canada Geese,
Mallards, Song
Sparrow, Red Bellied Woodpecker, Mockingbird, and several Killdeer. It
was a very nice sunny afternoon with no wind.
