Good Morning Tweeters!

Slogging myself into the morning rain, it was just me and the golfers on
the Green River Trail. (Talk about dedication to one's sport, one golfer
was wearing mud boots and gore-tex as he went from green to green....)

Here's what I spied between 6:30-8:00 a.m..........
One GREAT BLUE HERON
Flock of MEW GULLS, all stages of development (crow sized, dainty bills,
dark eyes, grey legs) One RING BILLED GULL, perhaps more, but beyond my
binocular's range.
RED TAILED HAWK
Two DOUBLE CRESTED CORMORANTS fishing in the Green River along side the
golf course. Two males, one female RED WING BLACK BIRD.

The golf course was playing host to a large flock of AMERICAN WIGEONS,
COOTS and several feral domestic geese. One of domestics was hanging
close to a CANADA GOOSE.

At the Ole Fishin' Hole were the AMERICAN WIGEONS I've been watching
these past few weeks, the male RING NECK DUCK, two pairs of BUFFLEHEADS,
a few COOTS, MALLARDS and some of the "mongrel" gulls. No sign of the
muskrat critter.

Later,
Lydia
