I spent some time this Christmas out on the kayak checking out the bird action. Saw the Tri-colored Heron and that was a treat. Was able to get close. Also was able to see the first Pied-Billed Grebe in a long time. Saw an Osprey carrying a fish which was cool. He flew out of a tree and already had achieved victory.
A couple favorites shown up in the Banded Kingfisher and the Double-crested Cormorant who was fishing when I spotted him.
I saw Blue Herons and Great Egrets along with Moorehens and Coots. Ran into some regulars in the hawk, crow, and dove. I paused for a bit to listen to a bunch grackles sing. It was actually peaceful and much better than watching the tube.
I also believe I ran into a bunch of snowy egrets who bolted from the bull rush and gather in a couple trees. There was also White Ibis and Anhinga out searching for dinner. The Limpkin was digging in for Apple Snails and I actually was able to see a big shell discarded.
Lately I see a fair amount of Black Vultures over the water’s edge. Pretty cool how they float on by with minimal effort.
That’s about the extent of the adventure. Running wise I put in 27 Sunday and 18 Saturday.
