While visiting the center this weekend, we spotted a green heron. I think there were 2 but I only got a good view at one. It landed in a tree and stayed very still. It was a nice treat to end a great day of exploring.

PS – from Jen – I think we have a pair nesting fairly close to the building. We see them often. They ARE very cool!

We arrived a week ago to our lakehouse at the north end of Chautauqua Lake (Mayville) and have been enjoying a pair of bald eagles perching in our trees each day. They seem to show up either when the water is still so that they can spot fish to dive for, or when wind is from the south, bringing dead fish to the shoreline. What a magnificent sight! We had noticed an eagle for the first time late last summer, perched on a high branch over the lake. Since we go south for the winter, perhaps they hunted here in our woods all winter? Or returned when the lake thawed this spring?
Today we also saw 3 Baltimore orioles in different locations as we walked around downtown Mayville.
