A couple hours at CVP was fairly non-birdy, totaling 29 species.
Highlight was an osprey circling over the prairie warbler/ chatland
meadow. Carrying a good-sized stick, the osprey circled until it gained
sufficient height and disappeared over the ridge in the direction of
Loch Raven. For last year's atlas, we had a pair of Osprey at the the
lower end of LR reservoir.
