I stopped at Lake MacBride, south shore just west of the Mehaffey Bridge Rd. causeway. I was excited to find a Horned Grebe hanging out with the Canada geese. There were Two Common Loons farther out, one was a juvenile. I also caught a glimpse of either a common or red breasted Merganser but was unable to relocated it for better identifying. The Great Egrets are back. Four were hanging out in that southern tip of Lake MacBride off 200th ST. On the Coralville Reservoir, South of the Sugar Bottom Campground Beach were a dozen White Pelicans and across the Lake were 25 cormorants, which were really too far for me to see. Oh, and a pair of Osprey are checking out/nesting at the bike trails hack tower. Cool!
