We had intended to golf this am at 0800. However, one of our party did =
not
like the rain showers so I decided to go for a walk at the ponds to get =
my
exercise.=20
=20
A young cock pheasant was at his spot near the corner and a 100 yards
further a big healthy doe was on the road. This is the first time I've =
seen
one in this area.=20
=20
Two doz. plus Swallows were hawking over the first couple of ponds. No =
idea
what kind. Some ducks inc. Mallards, Blacks and teal throughout.=20
=20
Scads of sparrow sized birds.=20
=20
The Guzzle is good for Short eared Owls. All along the dyke wall to the =
East
is a potential. Another spot for those owls is to go to the parking spot =
at
the Canard Abiteau. Leave your car and walk the dyke. It is a nice walk =
to
the end, perhaps 20-25 minutes. The owls will be on the outside of the =
dyke
near the end. Merrill Prime walks the first part of the dyke with his =
dogs
twice a day so the owls moved out to the last part.
=20
I've not been able to walk it for the last 2 years but Merrill says he
thinks they are still there. =20
=20
I hope you find the Skimmer. Maybe Harold will invite us sometime.

An attempt to find the skimmer yesterday afternoon came up empty

two
white-rumped, two ruddy turnstones, and one sanderling. The peregrine =
made
an appearance, also a northern harrier.
