Lagoon is quite full, duck blinds are
almost under water. A kingfisher dove
in the water when we first stepped out
of the car, caught a fish. A Marsh
Hawk about 300 yds. towards the ranch
from the car, maybe that's what we
tought was an eagle. Flying low,
typical Marsh Hawk, female. Back at
the car at 2:45. White-tailed kite
near outer gate, flying 50' up or so.
First one I've seen out here.
RCA cypress grove: flushed up 2 barn
owls, forced them towards the end of
the grove, caught up with them, flushed
them out in the open, they flew back
towards the road head. One appeared
alot smaller than the other. Also saw
Black Phoebe and Loggerhead Shrike.
Sooner Bay: Great Blue Heron, some
more avocets and peeps. Not a very
high density of birds. Tide flats are
exposed now,
