Stan was there and was able to ID it for me. The lessor Yellowlegs were playing in the water. HOpe to put a few more up later. On the way there I saw a beautiful pilated woodpecker. (no photo)
Beautiful young fox A couple of very fat raccoons Northern Harrier Turkey Vulture Sharp Shinned Hawks A great day at the watch today before and after work. They had over 700 hawks. I only saw about 50-60 but they were nice and low. Also a pair of raccoons arrived and Frank said all we need now is the fox and looked to the right and there he was.
