7: to 7:45 PM: nobody on Osprey nest, but lots of action on the Great Blue Heron nest, as noted below. Three chicks! I believe NH Summer Count only had 2. A couple of photos on the ebird report, and, if we're lucky, the following link to a video should work for anyone, even if not on FB: https://www.facebook.com/arthur.shippee/videos/10154228414459042/?l=9109012243955982892 <https://www.facebook.com/arthur.shippee/videos/10154228414459042/?l=9109012243955982892> I think two working Baltimore Oriole nests around there too. > Begin forwarded message: > > From: ebird-checklist@cornell.edu > Subject: eBird Report - Waite bridge & causeway Lake Whitney, Jun 10, 2016 > Date: June 10, 2016 at 8:38:34 PM EDT > To: ashippee@snet.net > > Waite bridge & causeway Lake Whitney, New Haven, Connecticut, US > Jun 10, 2016 7:00 PM - 7:45 PM > Protocol: Stationary > Comments: With Mary Porterfield & another couple who walked up while we were there, Anita & Ed, I think. > 8 species > > Great Blue Heron 6 Three chicks in the nest.
