Sorry to be reporting this so late, but my address book wasn't cooperating
and  the mail sent to the list yesterday came back.

 

There was a great egret on the upper marshes in Woods Harbour.  It was still
there late last evening in the ponds across from Cameron lane ( the strait
stretch before the ballfield,for those who know the area)  I haven't had the
chance to go and see it's still in there this morning.

 

A couple of raccoons who have decided that our place is a good place to hang
out have killed one of the Tree Swallows that nested in our back yard.
Yesterday there was only one adult feeding the young and this morning there
were six swallows flying together and two of them fed at least one bird that
is still in the birdhouse .  Some of them sat on the clothes line and they
looked like young birds.  Perhaps the young except one left the nest this
morning??  Do families of swallows join together after leaving the nests?  I
don't think they would have had that many hatchlings.

 

We still have two Cedar Waxwings hanging around and there are young Juncos,
Robins, Grackles, and Catbird.

 

Happy Birding
