What a great afternoon of birding! I like numbers! I got a later start than I wanted.
Too much to do around my house. Someone had posted on loads and loads of
Bonies at east fork. So off I go. And wow! Is this the numbers spot for staging
Bonies in the area?? 520. Best count I could get! I had no success trying to
Relocate the Black Scoter, but I only scanned from south beach. I was debating
Whether to hit other areas here or head to Cowan lake. I headed to Cowan lake
Next.
Hardly any gulls here. Only 2 Bonies…. I was hoping for cranes and black ducks.
Both of which I need for the big year. I had at east fork! But not here…… 73 Ruddys
Here. 15 at east fork. The Ruddys do prefer Cowan lake for some reason.
66 turkey vultures at east fork. 108 at Cowan lake. TVs are moving! That’s fun!
I had wanted to hit Harveysburg rd. At Caesar creek next. But was out of time….l
Oh well!
Hopefully some needed year birds back when I return from vacation.
Good birding all.
