Entering a field today I encountered a kaleidoscope of Monarch Butterflies. There were about a dozen flying around in their zig-zag way. Further into the field there was an eagle flying low. Perhaps the same one that flew out of the trees last week. A flock of pelicans, 40?, flew over my head. They always make me glad. I thought that they would have migrated south by now. By Lake Joanne a flock of cormorants took flight. Driving my tractor down the road at 18 mph a great blue heron flew the same speed parallel to me.
At this site there are four nesting boxes. Cleaning them, two held nests, likely tree swallows. Two of the boxes were stuffed with twigs. That is evidence of wrens stifling nesting competition.
