Folks,
George Cumming joined me today for the heron watch. Actually, he got there a bit
before me.
Some young herons today, lots of shorebirds, and, eventually, a Peregrine
harassing the shorebirds. Short and sweet.
One young Osprey was feeding on a flopping fish accompanied by one, sometimes
two adults. There was also a third adult around, though it looked like it got
chased off by one of the other adults. The young is still only about half-size.
Not sure if those parents are feeding it well. And what happened to its sibling?
