After the tantalizing reports from the Buckner
Preserve we meandered over there after the marsh
clean-up. An American bittern, 3 great blue
herons, 2 wood ducks, 2 ospreys, several yellow
warblers, an ovenbird, 3 gray-blue gnatcatchers,
an eastern kingbird, a white-crowned sparrow and
a Baltimore oriole were among the many birds that
made it worth the trip.

At one point we had blue-gray gnatcatcher, a
mink, and a butterfly (fritillary sp.) all
happening at once. It was hard to know where to
look!
