The St. Francis River is high outside my office window - brings the trumpeter swans, Canada geese, mallards, wood ducks, hooded mergansers and river otter closer to my camera lens! Unfortunately, they're here early in the morning when there's still poor light. Dang! Other birds noted this week include: Pied-billed grebe Great blue heron Bufflehead Ring-necked duck Common goldeneye Common merganser American coot Turkey vulture (03-22) Sharp-shinned hawk Bald eagle Northern harrier Red-tailed hawk American kestrel Wild turkey Killdeer Sandhill crane Mourning dove (arrived 01-19) Great horned owl Barred Owl Belted kingfisher (since 02-04-11 or all winter?)
