clapper rail

2005-04-10 - 9:17 a.m.

D. and M. got some sad news this morning. Mean people suck, and greedy mean people suck even worse, and that's all I'm going to say about that.

D. and I went to Fontainebleau State Park to eat some crawfish and catch a few afternoon birds. My life Clapper Rail came when we were studying a distant adult Bald Eagle. I suddenly became aware that an adult Clapper Rail had crept out into the open almost right underneath us. A fantastic look in the sunlight with every detail sharp and clear. If only I'd brought my camera!

Here's the list:

  1. Great Egret
  2. Little Blue Heron
  3. Turkey Vulture
  4. Bald Eagle
  5. Red-tailed Hawk
  6. Clapper Rail
  7. Common Moorhen
  8. Killdeer
  9. Eurasian Collared-Dove
  10. Red-bellied Woodpecker
  11. Downy Woodpecker
  12. Northern Mockingbird
  13. Eastern Bluebird
  14. Blue Jay
  15. American Crow
  16. Fish Crow
  17. European Starling
  18. Yellow-rumped Warbler
  19. Northern Cardinal
  20. Red-winged Blackbird
  21. Eastern Meadowlark
  22. Brown-headed Cowbird
  23. House Sparrow

Hummingbird Report: I'm not seeing the Ruby-Throated hordes this morning, but I did have a visit at the near feeder from a beautiful adult male. later: Many repeat visits from (I'm assuming) the same gorgeous male.
