buzzed by white pelicans 2003-01-06 - 3:04 p.m. This morning I set the alarm for 6 A.M. and unfortunately rolled over and slept another half an hour, just enough so that I had to drive into the rising sun as I headed off for Fontainebleau State Park, also known as the state park I never spell the same way twice. It was cold but sunny, with some nice birds. A highlight was when I heard a sound like the swish of heavy silk and looked up to see a flock of forty-odd White Pelicans flying low right over my head. Here's my list. The three species in bold, italicized letters are the ones I added at the Northlake Nature Center trail. I also planned to walk on the Mandeville lakefront but changed my mind when I realized that they were in the process of moving an old plantation house off a barge in the lake onto the property across from Donz. Pied-Billed Grebe Brown Pelican White Pelican Double-Crested Cormorant Great Blue Heron Snow Goose Blue-Winged Teal Lesser Scaup Bufflehead Northern Harrier Red-Tailed Hawk American Coot Common Moorhen Killdeer Laughing Gull Forster's Tern Belted Kingfisher Red-Bellied Woodpecker Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker Downy Woodpecker Eastern Phoebe Tree Swallow American Crow Fish Crow Blue Jay Carolina Chickadee Tufted Titmouse Carolina Wren Ruby-Crowned Kinglet Eastern Bluebird American Robin Northern Mockingbird Yellow-Rumped Warbler Swamp Sparrow Red-Winged Blackbird Eastern Meadowlark American Goldfinch Yes, I did notice that I didn't see any egrets or any Northern Cardinals. The water was too deep where I was checking for the egrets. I have no explanation for the goof-off Cardinals. The Snow Goose was a lone bird standing on the beach. When I approached, the bird casually sauntered into the water and drifted away with an attitude of, "You didn't scare me. I felt like swimming anyway." Either Snow Goose season is over, or they know where there's no hunting allowed, or both, because I swear the bird looked me right in the eye without blinking. I can't remember when I've seen just one Snow Goose by itself, away from a flock. This bird had an extremely self-confident vibe, almost like a swan. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
