081822 Shots of Noteworthy Interest on Boomer Lake from Now and Then
081822 Immature Brown Booby
This bird apparently showed up yesterday and decided to stay into at least today, so my poor shot from several months ago at least showed that there is Brown Booby interest in Boomer Lake. This species is a seabird that usually resides in southern waters of the Atlantic and Pacific, though it occasionally comes inland. However, if one looks at the Oklahoma eBird stats, it is becoming more frequent in this state.
071922 Green Heron
It appeared that we might have young being raised this year, but with all the cover and lack of viewable area, it was very difficult to make observations. There could have been fledglings, but writer is not aware of any that were seen.
061519 Green Heron with White Chick
In Front of Her
This has been the youngest nestling that writer has observed since following the small Green Heron colony of Heron Cove. This was a very low nest at the west side of the cove, which was questionable as to whether or not the young would survive, as there was such easy access to it with no real cover. Sadly, it was not long before the nesting must have seen its demise, as the adult was gone within a week.
