There are a pair of Broad-winged Hawks circling above my property looking for some lunch. They have been here for about a half hour. I shooed my half-grown pullets into the hen house just in case.
Highland Lake is now full, so not much shore line for the Killdeers. The Herons have been back for weeks, and the geese never really left, but very little in the way of other water fowl. Usually by now, the lake is crowded. A farmer's fire got out of control along the west shore a few weeks ago and burned down a lot of the undergrowth and other habitat where the geese and Mallards usually nest. We lost a few trees as well, so until things start growing again. . .
