Clapper Rail , American White Pelican , Snowy Owl , Cackling Goose , Blue-winged Teal , Bald Eagle , Lark Sparrow , Clay-colored Sparrow , Pine Warbler , and Turkey Vulture are all good birds for the count. We found three Bald Eagles for the count, but only one of the Willow Lake birds and it was at Meadow Lake.

People whoever they are (even the most experienced of hawkwatchers) love Bald Eagles – it’s just a given. In my experience if you show a non or novice birder their first Bald Eagle and they will be amazed, show someone their first Thayer’s Gull and they aren’t likely to gasp (sorry, larophiles)!

Monte Merrick’s friend Vann Masvidal once found a rhinestone in a Brown Pelican ‘s poop, and Maren Scott’s unreleasable Quid Poe Crow popped the diamond out of her ring and presumably ate it. Sharron Montgomery went through the same thing with a badly-behaved educational Bald Eagle named Booker T.

We were only a few miles from shore, so watching Ospreys and Bald Eagles return with fish from the Gulf was fascinating, as were the Double-crested Cormorants and Brown Pelicans that periodically flew overhead. Red-headed Woodpecker. Still, I wanted to see something particular, something colorful, something migratory.

Overhead soared a Bald Eagle , Great Blue Heron , and Osprey; in the pines twittered Carolina Chickadees, Brown-headed Nuthatches , and Tufted Titmice. Brown Pelicans and Double-crested Cormorants flew near the surface. After rolling out of bed, my husband and I opted to explore a trail that began just behind our campsite.

Brown Pelicans were the most numerous birds, flapping against the wind, diving for lunch, or floating along on the gentle waves. We watched a Bald Eagle soar on the warm updrafts over the marsh, while another actually stood on a mudflat, looking for prey.
