I will be going on daily birding walks for the next few weeks along
the west and south sides of Eagle Lake just southwest of the
intersection of HW 169 and I-694. Anyone interested in joining me,
please contact me via email with times and days you are interested
in. I will get back to you. I have ID'd over 120 species in these
areas in the year and a half I have lived here - with many lifer
warblers added to my list. Photography is usually very good
especially in mid-May based on history. Please contact me if
interested. Mid to late mornings and mid to late afternoons are best
so far. But things change daily. Can't guarantee a fast email return
everytime as I try to be out as much as I can in May.
No special warblers yet.
The number of species and especially the number of birds has been
increasing over the last three days with, among the usual, many, many
Palm Warbler practically walking over my feet, more elusive White
Throated Sparrows, a few House Wrens, gobs of butter-butts and a
lessening variety of water birds - most lately a raft of Ruddy Ducks
hiding in the reeds only to be chased into my view by a goose. Toss
in flickers, Swamp Sparrows, chippers, Song Sparrows in full aria, RC
kinglets and simmer with warbler spices and viola! a viewing feast
for royalty (that's us).
