and yesterday it certainly looked like it as we went for a walk along the dike
this Spotted Sandpiper was very busy leading us away from where there is obviously a nest (dogs are being kept on leads right now as they are just too interested in what might be happening down along the sides of the dike.
there was a lot of calling from the eagle nest but still haven't been able to spot the young ones although there is obviously at least one there.
Speaking of young ones, have seen a lot of young Rufous Hummingbirds the last few days and our yard has been very busy with a little Dark Eyed Junco family with 3 fledglings.
Today we got out on the water for a while...
water levels are back up to their highest point for this year....out in this area which is fairly close to the main Harrison River, there were lots of Spotted Sandpiper, Cedar Waxwings and Swallows - lots and lots of swallows!
here is one of the Cedar Waxwing....
and here are just a few of the Swallows....3 Violet Green and 1 Tree Swallow.. Also saw some Barn Swallows and a few Northern Rough Wing
and then there was the Eastern Kingbirds. Every year there are a few out there.
we ventured way up into an area we've never been able to get before. There was constant bird song including calls I've never heard here or anywhere, but trying to see what was making the calls was impossible.
Did find yet more Cedar Waxwings though.
