Week of August 23, a very hot and humid week. I went to Kains Woods and Springbank Park this week.

The Red-tailed Hawk was comfortable on the tree until the black birds started dive-booming it.

This Green Heron was in the middle of the river on a fallen tree far away. I used my bins to look at the gulls and that's how I spotted the heron. Just looking without the bins, one would not know it was there. |

September 1, 2021 - I went to the Uplands North Wetland to see what was there. The water is very low with some mudflats. There was a number of sandpiper species - Solitary Sandpipers, Lesser Yellowlegs, Least Sandpiper, Killdeer, Semipalmated Plovers and Semipalmated Sandpipers.
I saw 2 Great Blue Herons, a Green Heron and 2 Great Egrets.

There were 2 Great Egrets and one Great Blue Heron at one pond. The two Great Egrets were flying around like chasing each other and landed where the Great Blue Heron was. The Great Blue Heron chased the Egrets away but they returned and the 3 were chasing each other at one part of the pond. I don't know if they were just playing and chasing each other or the Heron really didn't like the Egrets near his section of the pond.
