About 25 Turkey Vultures have gathered in the tops of 4 huge bur oak trees adjacent to the parking lot of the Mr. & Mrs. F.L. Schlagle Library at the Wyandotte County Lake Park this misty dark morning. Although they've been out here for a few weeks now, we've not seen this kind of committee yet. Very foreboding. Perfect for a scary story.
In one of the same trees, we saw an Osprey perch both yesterday and the day before. Last year in April, an Osprey also called that branch their own. Perhaps the same one returning?
Other than that, our woods are noisy with the calls of Tufted Titmice, Cardinals, Red-winged Blackbirds, various woodpeckers, and more. Saw a Ruby-Crowned Kinglet last week.
We're anxiously awaiting the return of our nesting Prothonotary Warblers. Should be soon!
