Subject: Pyramid Lake afternoon birding
We’re glad to report some interesting birds we saw yesterday afternoon at Pyramid Lake. A Prairie Falcon was flying along the south edge of the lake and landed on a log in the muddy area just east of the shore. A pair of Bald Eagles were sitting on sticks at the river mouth and two Golden Eagles were sitting close together on the mountain ridge above Marble Bluff. A Common Loon and a good sized flock of Canvasback were at the south end of the Lake, along with many Ruddy Ducks. A lone pelican stood out among numerous Canada Goose flocks on a bar at the river mouth. The surprise bird seen along the shore north of Popcorn Rock was a probable Barn Swallow. And two Sharp-shinned Hawks were seen in Sutcliffe near the houses. Some good birds for the CBC coming up next week.
