Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here — Almost

Spent a half-hour chilling on the Warden's Watch yesterday around 4 p.m., and it was great to see so many old buddies.

I saw several Great Blue Herons, a Great Egret, an Osprey (who promptly flew overhead and caught a fish), a Belted Kingfisher, a Palm (right) and a Yellow-rump, plus tons of Tree Swallows and turtles.

Full list follows. Posting a few Osprey shots later. (P.S.: At least three Great Egrets were at the CF Thursday a.m.)
