The Snowy Egrets are here. A few are paired up already. The Wood Storks are building nests. The DC Cormorant colony is full and cormorants are now starting to display in the cypress trees of the rookery. The Great Egrets are still in all stages of breeding. Anhinga’s are pairing up and in breeding plumage. Yesterday, I saw my first Swallow-tailed Kite of the season and today, a pair was circling over the south end swamp. Other sightings of the day included: a juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron, Red-shouldered Hawk and Limpkin.
