and noticed a single bird out there....now yesterday there was a single bird down there too. Yesterday it was this Pied Billed Grebe....today, it looked a little different....
because it was an American Coot! I don't know if I've ever seen a coot right up here in our boat launch area before. I have seen them a couple of times at the log bay and they are sometimes found in fairly large flocks on Harrison Bay. I think this must be an older juvenile.
It was still down there this evening....still all by itself...well if you don't count...
the Great Blue Heron that are seen regularly down there now that the water levels have dropped.
A few other items of interest the last few days....
Steller's Jay are feasting on the sunflowers that they planted in our habitat garden....
and it appears the baby Cedar Waxwings have left the nest. Look at the size of that mouth!
for a couple of days we had a large flock of Pine Siskin with some Goldfinch mixed in. Must have been at least a hundred of them....
lots of Dragonflies right now, especially these Eight Spot Skimmers...
and causing no end of turmoil....
is this Raccoon family. Get over it people ~ you live in the country ~ enjoy it!
