Sometimes walking the RR track here, I look down to shore to see Swallows
sitting atop the heads of those plastic GH Owls people put on docks or rooves
to scare away birds!

There is an immature bald eagle on a neighbors beach near the yacht club. (4:45
PM) The bird has reportedly been there for an hour and is unable to fly. Who
would be appropriate to contact/evaluate? Thanks, Bob Horn 273 5690

Alyssa,
I know I have to fight the insects for my share of the mushrooms I like to
eat, and it makes me wonder if the birds know how mushrooms can be loaded
with bugs. Did you get the sense that the birds were consuming the
mushrooms, or rummaging through them for insects? Very interesting
Mushrooms almost immediately attract a range of small insects, some of which
specialize on reproducting in them—tiny beetles, gnats (flies) and I am sure
several other groups. I wonder if they were not picking these easy insects
off, especially given their juvenile (klutzy predator) status?
There was a massive take off of swallows at sunrise this morning seen from
the Montezuma visitor's center. I just estimated 2 but I bet it was
more like 20+our radar detected a big take off ring this morning.
Birds reached up to 8000 feet 10 minutes or so after take off!!!
On Sat, Aug
I was wondering about the Cliff Swallows. I also noticed they seemed to range
farther out over the water and especially much higher up. Sometime very high
and then dive down in bigger loops.

I was by the swan pond looking for warblers (there were at least 2 PALM
WARBLERS - 1 yellow, 1 brown)
when I met Sydney who said he'd just seen 3 terns flying east. I tried scoping
and found nothing in the
limited clear view north to the fog. Then a few minutes later he saw terns
again.
