We met some nice folks on our visit today: one from Toronto and one, whose
last name, we believe, is Rife. Mr Rife pointed out the nest and egg being
guarded by a pair of Pied-billed Grebes. He also confirmed our sighting of
a Green Heron that flew by overhead.
We had two of our grandchildren on our walk who we are grooming to be
birders and conservationists. However, they don't quite have the patience
for a long day so we only stayed about an hour just before lunch, but our
time was rewarded with the following:
Pied-billed Grebe
Great Blue Heron
Green Heron
Canada Goose
American Wigeon
Gadwall
Mallard
Cinnamon Teal
Northern Shoveler
Marsh Wren
American Robin
European Starling
Spotted Towhee
Song Sparrow
White-crowned Sparrow
Red-winged Blackbird
