Hi, I'm new to the list. My name is Annette and I live in Carver. I'm new to birding as well as the list so feel free to set me straight when it's necessary. Yesterday afternoon I had the great joy of watching 5 bald eagles flying over, by my estimation, the Louisville Swamp area. At least two were engaged in the stunning aerial acrobatics that they are known for. I also saw a number of gulls or gull-like birds. The underside was white with black wing tips - similar to the Ring-billed Gull but everything I've read suggests that they wouldn't be out this way or at this time of year. Today I saw a Ring-necked Pheasant (male) saunter across County Road 40 before disappearing into the high grass. I saw an unidentified hawk harrass all the robins on this side of the road, from the far west end of the property all the way down past the neighbor's to the east. All the robins fled to the trees across the road. I also saw a lone Northern Cardinal, a couple of Red-winged Blackbirds, and 5 times this afternoon I have seen a Great Blue Heron flying over the creek.
