[Tweeters] Cedar River Delta

[Odette James via Tweeters]

Notable birds over the last few days - today, Monday July 22, 22 Caspian Terns, all in adult breeding plumage, spending a lot of time just hanging out on the delta logs; a few American Coots; a few immature Ring-billed Gulls; and a few California Gulls.  A few days ago - a Horned Grebe in breeding plumage, here only briefly.  And hordes of Canada Geese and Mallards plus some Gadwalls and a few Great Blue Herons.  Common Mergansers seem to have had a decent breeding season, as there are many young ones here now, feeding as usual with their faces planted in the water or snoozing on the logs.
