Marsh Discovery Trail: No Sign of Aggressive Redwing
We are happy to report that as of mid-afternoon yesterday, Dennis the Menace, the aggressive Red-winged Blackbird, was no longer defending his nesting area along the Marsh Discovery Trail.

Ron Shields: Disposal Road Report
"Attached please find a sampling of images taken from the growth surrounding the "puddles" along Disposal Road before the drought wiped them out. If you look real close, you'll note that the female indigo bunting (left) is banded. [See link from earlier this week; must have been a double ring ceremony.]
"In addition, raptor action continues to heat up with Peregrine Falcons perching on the towers and hunting over the landfills. As many as four kestrels have been spotted in the fields as well."
Two more pix follow.
