Special thanks to those that attended my recent Ijams WalkAbout at Carl Cowan park. Our topic was basic birdwatching 101.
Although the woodland passerines were fairly quiet, we did find several interesting lake-loving birds including a double-creasted cormorant swimming and diving in the water and an osprey that made several passes overhead. It's possible a bald eagle was spotted as well.
Every time I see an osprey, I'm reminded of Audubon's famous print of one carrying a recently caught fish. Both with mouths agape; one of exaltation, the other of asphyxiation. Pretty soon the two would have become one.
