Today at Dyson Ditch the usual abundance of Canadian geese and a variety of
ducks (Including a couple dozen Canvasbacks) and gulls were present and quite
active. Also 4 groups of Sandhill Cranes, consisting of 200-300+ total, flew
over headed north. That's a lovely sound. An adult bald eagle was perched in
the vicinity of the Pardue Pond eagle nest. This is on the south side of the
Cumberland River near the inlet to the Dyson Ditch WR. The abandoned Eagle
Pass nest in Dyson Ditch WR is gone, a casualty of February's ice storms.
40-50 American White Pelicans were resting throughout the back water area. A
red-shouldered and a broad-winged hawk were seen too.
The snow has melted and the Best viewing is from the Cumberland River
Bicentennial Trail via the Eagle Pass trail head off of Chapmansboro Rd.
