Top Greebe,it took a trip through my bird books to give a definite identification. It was a female, and after I let it rest awhile, I took it back and released it in an open area near the water. I have sighted the Scissorstail Flycatcherand Northern Mockingbird in this area, as well as the Dickcissel,Waxwing, and Cardinals."
"I often bird watch on old road to Stephenville at the bottom of Seal Cove. Last year in the Autumn, after the leaves had fallen I spotted a
Yellow Warblernest. The nest was empty, but they often return to the same nest the next year, so I marked the area, and decided to look again in the Spring. I returned in the Spring and found that a Chickadee had taken up residence in the Warbler's nest. Upon closer inspection, I spotted a new Warbler nest only feet from the first nest, that contained 4 tiny eggs. You will often see the same birds returning to the same areas year after year if the conditions are just right." |
