Spent about 30 minutes at Rock Cut SP during yesterday’s lunch hour. Migration is happening there. There were 2 Osprey over Pierce Lake. An immature Broad-winged Hawk was soaring and calling over the woods north of the dam.
2 families of Eastern Kingbirds were very active and vocal around the dam parking lot, with adults still being harassed for food by the young birds. Some young male/female Am. Redstarts were at the edge of the woods along the bike trail,
A Ring-billed Gull was on the rocky island just E of the dam, and at least 4 Great Blue Herons were in view along the lake edge. 4 species of swallows were over the lake near the dam.
