Sunday Lunch
Just had a chance to go check the ponds on Witter. They continue to fill with each rainstorm. 4 cormorants and 1 Great Egret occupied the turtle pond; three turtles willed the sun to shine; a few mockingbirds, meadowlarks and sparrows flitted around; 4 vultures glided overhead; a "paddling" of ducks (mostly shovelers) plied the water of the now-almost-full far pond; and a "gulp" of swallows flew up and around a marshy area near the road. I stopped for swallows (barn, apparently) as their flights were fascinating.
On the way home I scoped out a number of spots where I will return for photos and I spied two vultures - a one Turkey, one Black - dining on a Fox Squirrel. They didn't flinch as I grabbed photos...
