Around 3:00 p.m. today, Lee and Lynda Johnson discovered 2 American Avocets in the flooded oxbow on Oliver Road about 3/4 mile west of Harrison Road. The oxbow is just before the farm buildings at the right hand curve in the road. By the time we got there at 5:30 p.m., the Avocets were not in view. Perhaps they were flushed by the adult Bald Eagle that was sitting in the dead tree behind the oxbow.
