The Little Blue Heron was still present this morning at 11:00. He was on
the north side of the pond, in front of the grassy area, so I was able to get
really nice looks. I ran into other birders who saw him there after I'd left.
At 180th St. Marsh I finally trained my scope on the RT Hawk nest to see if
it was occupied. I was pleasantly surprised with a Great Horned Owl sitting
on the nest. As you come down 180th St. past the Fischer intersection, about
halfway down the hill is a farm path running off to the left. If you park
your vehicle there and look to the hillside with the trees, the nest is visible
to the naked eye.
No luck with Eared Grebes. 180th was otherwise slow, as was Lake Byllesby -
American White Pelicans, 2 Cackling Geese dwarfed by their cousins, 3
Forster's Terns, ducks, no shore birds.
