Took my kayak down the Cedar today from Floyd to Charles City. Water level high but still easy going, no overly fast current. Spotted several sandpiper species that I couldn't quite nail down, a few green herons(first of the season) a first of year oriole and plenty of less noteworthy species.
Also found another eagle nest along the route, that makes 3 eagle nests on this short run, with at least two being used.
Most interestingly, I had a bat flying around about 40 feet above the river-at noon! Never seen that before.
