Highlights of a Wednesday dusk visit to Sandy Ridge:

  At least 30 great egrets, all roosting by the time I left
  Sandhill crane calling
  Virginia rail calling ("kadick")
  One common nighthawk, calling as it apparently left its daytime roost
  At least five marsh wrens singing
  Prothonotary warbler which looked like it was scouting for a nest hole
  Female rose-breasted grosbeak collecting fibers from a poison ivy vine

  Craig Caldwell, Westlake
