Greetings everyone, After being home with a sick child on this glorious day, I decided to brave the dirt road of Carlos Avery this evening in my Minivan. I made it. The trip was great and I got some great photographs! Here is a list of what I saw today.
Canadian Geese - many Sandhill Cranes - several Coots - plentiful Ring-Necked Ducks - 6 Mallards - several pairs American Tree Sparrow Song Sparrow Great Blue Heron - 1 Imm. Bald Eagle - 1 Last but not least...possible Cooper's Hawk - we startled each other but it was definitely a very small raptor, light gray in color. Unfortunately the only picture I got was a blurry back end as he was flying away. If it rains, I would not travel through Carlos Avery - the roads were very wet and muddy in some spots today. Also there is water right level with the road in some of the wooded spots. It was passable today with my front wheel drive but I wouldn't try it again, especially after a rainfall.
