Date: 7/29/26 7:40 am From: Jean L <0000067a456a8961-dmarc-request...> Subject: Re: Anhinga Reported @ Eagle Bluffs Conservation Area, Boone Co., 7/29
Update - this morning bird was first seen looking downstream from junction
house, flying across channel from right to left. Landed out of sight in
thick tree-line next to road. Was relocated sitting in a small patch of
vegetation in middle of distribution channel directly across road from Pool
13 gate signage. It then dove, moving upstream. Later re-located in
cattails with overhanging trees on roadside, upstream from pool 13. Later
flew across channel landing high in a grove of trees, drying wings.
Remained visible for many to see, including MDC staff who happened to be
working in area.
