This morning there were five Great Egrets foraging in the eastern end of
Cowan Lake.  (Click

a description and

an interactive map). This is the only spring record I have for more
than
one bird on the Cowan/Caesar Creek/Spring Valley axis.

Also notable were two female Red-breasted Mergansers.  My previous late date
for this species was 11 Apr.

Near the fishing pier, there was a pair of Canada Geese with four newly
fledged goslings.

The spillway is beginning to come into condition for shorebirds, as
evidenced by the presence of three Spotted Sandpipers today.

Cheers,

Bob
