Birds before dusk last night included 5 Cedar Waxwings eating cherries, 2 Wood Thrush singing, 3 cowbirds, a Gray Catbird, 2 Cardinals, 2 B Orioles, a Yellow-billed Cuckoo, a Belted Kingfisher, & 2 Ospreys.
Ospreys flew east from the lake; one was carrying a skinny fish; this O was still shaking the water from its feathers, so had a rather uneven , bouncy flight for a minute! The Os continued east over treetops & out of sight. I wondered where they were headed. Nearest nest tower is at entrance to power plant, about 1 -2 miles away.
