Since I noted in my post here yesterday (Thursday) that I had not seen the Black Phoebe at the Florence Sewer District Plant it showed up today (remember that if you plan to walk on their property- during normal working hours M-F- behind the closed sign over the 2 track to stop in the office and let them know you will be back there). While in that area I stopped and saw the Green Heron at the park getting one good photo of it.
-- I forgot to note yesterday that I saw 4 Yellow-headed Blackbirds, first of the year in this area, in Florence. Plegadis Ibis are still in Florence, in fact numbers have increased to 75 or more, but they are in fields difficult to observe.
The phoebes under the MacKenzie Ave bridge over the Arkansas River have settled with one being a typical Eastern and the other looks to be intermediate, a hybrid, between Black and Eastern Phoebe. As I watched today ( Friday) the Eastern Phoebe gathered and flew under the bridge, a historical nesting site, with the material. Nesting has begun at that location.
I have uploaded the very good photo of the Green Heron and several more that show a sequence with it taking flight onto my Birds and Nature blog.
