I walked up the railroad tracks near Station Road Bridge to the eagle nest
this morning at about 7 am. The water level is very low right now in the
wetlands area. Lots of mud.

I saw a number of killdeer, some solitary sandpipers, some spotted
sandpipers, some lesser yellowlegs, one least sandpiper and one great egret. 

I have heard a few people say that they have not seen many green herons this
year. If you need your fill, there were at least 10 in this area including
adults and youngsters.

Lots of other things to see, as usual: A flock of cedar waxwings, juvi and
adult red-headed woodpeckers; juvi and adult great blue herons; two
hummingbirds, a pileated woodpecker, kingfishers, etc. The young bald eagle
was perched near the nest and eventually flew down the river.

As I passed under the 82 bridge going north there were some young titmice
and young cardinals chasing their parents in the trees. There was also a
yellowjacket nest in the tracks in this area.
