Hi Everyone,
I was at McIntosh Lake this morning 8/15. The Lilian’s Meadowlarks were present, but hard to find, back at the NW corner (on the loop trail between the bridge and the junction with the trail that goes to the Agricultural Preserve). A few Western Meadowlarks were also in the area, and they were the only ones singing. The Lilian’s did a fair bit of calling, and the little clucky notes they made sound very different from Western. I also got a brief view in the scope of a young Bobolink. A few migrants were about, including Western Wood-Pewee, Yellow Warbler, and Brewer’s Sparrow. A Great Egret was on the north shore of the lake, and several of us watched an Osprey fly to a utility pole with a fish so big it could barely stay in the air.
