The Avocets have a nest!
In the past, the American Avocets that have come around have been temporary visitors only. However, I’m pretty sure they are nesting. One will crouch down on it while the other hunts for food. They trade off, so one is always on the nest. Pretty cool!
The snowy egret has been around quite a bit. The cinnamon teal is a regular fixture. I watched a muskrat swim back and forth in the pond today. The hummingbirds have been here for about a week. This afternoon, two of them buzzed around in our tree in the back yard as Ninja stalked them. She never got close, but she sure tried.
