| 4/26-29/11 It was stormy as we birded Magee Marsh, Ohio and Pt. Pelee, Canada: At Pt. Pelee, a flock of a thousand Red-breasted Merganser (s) were interacting, diving, and surfing at the point. First, a Horned grebe came close , a Great Horned Owl had a nest with two chicks (though we only saw one), a Double-crest Cormornant flew by, a Brown Creeper, a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher were staying out of the wind. Beautiful place! |
| 5/7/11 A little out of order again but here is a very obliging Louisiana Waterthrush who came out into the sunlight for us at Conowingo, MD along with a few pics from MI : a Kildeer taking a bath, a Forster's Tern study, a Solitary Sandpiper , a Great Blue Heron pair on their nest (see our newest book on Amazon.com, "A Ruckus in the Rookery" for brilliant pics from Florida and a fun story), and a Common Grackle. |
| 5/10/11 Reporting a little out of chronological order, but headed down to Conowingo, MD on a brilliant day to see the Bald Eagle nest. Couldn't stay long and the family (3 chicks) wouldn't pop up together but the activity was fun to watch. Also a Scarlet Tanager (m) , an Orchard Oriole (f) with nest material , a Brown-headed Cowbird fight , an Eastern Phoebe , a Brown Thrasher , and Gray Catbird . |
