Larry Gara and I went out to Caesar Creek yesterday (Tuesday) morning, but
were unable to relocate either the Caspian Tern or the putative Royal Tern.
 Up at the Haines Boat Ramp (at the end of Young Road), we found an adult
Little Blue Heron and could see the two immatures over in the mudflats
accessed by Mound Road.  There were also nine immature Double-crested
Cormorants in the snags south of the fisherman's point.  While we were
there, an Osprey carrying a stick flew to the nest.  I think it is far too
late for nest-building activity; more likely, it's a young bird practicing
up for next year.

Cheers,

Bob
