Lake Ouachita Bird Island Babies

Post by dan valovich » Thu Jun 30, 2011 9:29 am

The egret babies are here and are well hidden. Nests will get crowded in the next couple of weeks and will be easier to see.
I paddled out to Bird from Buckville church yesterday( wed the 29th) and the heat and humidity was mean even with a light breeze after the previous day of rain.
Also starting to see a few martins which should arrive in great numbers soon.
I could hear what I thought were babies but didn't see these until I got on the computer,

Hey Dan, that's a nice one. I was going see about going out there last Tuesday, but that was a wash.

It is amazing to me how fast the Egret babies are growing on bird island. Not as hard to see this week but all the branches in the way makes getting a good photo tough. Here are a few more;

Fantastic! If we don't hurry out there, we'll miss them growing up.
