[mou] Egrets near Mapleton

[john nelson]

On a short trip from Beauford to Mapleton early this morning saw:
one Great Egret and from their size two Snowy Egrets (wouldn't show  
their heads- don't blame them it's nasty out there!)
many Flickers along the road and on power poles looked like Boxelder   
Bugs on the side of the house at times
small potholes in sheltered areas held the most ducks
Ring-Necks the most numerous
a few Canvasbacks,Buffleheads, Pelicans still here
two rooster Pheasants along the road which the Goldens enjoyed,  
especially the four month old
no I don't hunt just to head off any comment
A mile east of Mapleton on CR 21 a Kestrel in nest box entrance house  
mounted on south side of the road- gave me a good long look- camera at  
home
late this afternoon CR 10 west just out of Beauford a Pileated  
Woodpecker flew over -capped the day nicely
