Stillwater Riverfront Park - L Yellowlegs, eaglet 2 messages
No Glossy Ibis today but there is now a Lesser Yellowlegs in the same spot. I can also now confirm there is an eaglet in the Bald Eagle nest who is being fed a hearty breakfast!

Really not all that unusual at this type of habitat but there is a Savannah Sparrow with brilliant yellow and orange on its face, singing away by the picnic tables. Lindsey D.

Galway Nature Preserve
