1. First Great Blue Heron of the season seen Monday. 2. Feeders are visited by Herring Gulls, Black Ducks, Mallards, Song Sparrows, and Crows — and a Whitetail Deer. The birds all coexist except the gulls and the crows. A gull drives the head crow off its favorite perch, and then tries to occupy the spot, but fails, because webbed feed are not very good for grasping a small branch. It is very humorous to watch. 3. There is a Black Duck who has lost use of a leg, and moves on the ground by flopping along, and using his wings on the grass. He does all right, but is picked at by the others. 4. A mother Black Duck showed up ten days ago with eleven young. In a few days, she was down to eight, and now has just three remaining. 4. The hummingbirds Monday evening were putting on a great display, repeatedly zooming directly upwards from a lilac bush in what may be a courtship display.
