Sep 23, 2018: Osprey



An Osprey carries off its catch.  Monday (17th) was a great night for Osprey migration, with over 30 birds being observed.  The most seen at one time over the south lake was 12 individuals, with 8 to 9 the norm.  Also migrating that early evening were 300+ Franklin's Gulls, a handful of Ring-billed Gulls and Caspian Terns, 33 Double-crested Cormorants, 4 Great Egrets, 100+ Turkey Vultures, 1 Sharp-shinned Hawk, and 1 Bald Eagle; all seen within a 30-minute span.  (The following day, I only spotted 1 Osprey.)
