April 13
April 13, 2008 by OrientSee.
Let me count the ways! Today was a great day. The Ospreys are back. All three of them. That’s right three. Last year there was a third adult bird around most of the season besides the parents. It looks like that pattern may be occurring again. There was a Great Egret at Rosie’s Pond. Out by the overlook, besides the Teal and Wigeons, a Harrier was sailing over the marsh. Next incredibly, there were 15 Great Blue Herons out on the flats beyond the boardwalk. It was more than I have ever seen in one place at one time. Time for a big grin of delight. On the way out of the park, two crows up in a tree were trying to chase off a Cooper’s Hawk who could scarcely have cared less. He just kept looking around for his next meal. Finally, the Mute Swan was back in the creek by the school. At this point, I was nearly speechless with the sights of the day. A really great day out in Belle Isle Marsh.
Ciao!
