I&#8217;ve been checking my local spots with very little luck, so it&#8217;s worth the trip to get a chance at some good birds.<\/p>\n<p>There were more egrets and herons than last time, but fewer eagles. The second pool was virtually empty, and Bear Swamp Pool had the most action. I kept a close eye on the vegetation bordering the road and found a couple of good birds that way.<\/p>\n<p>The Skimmers were the highlight. They&#8217;re so spectacular as they fly within inches of water, and I was lucky enough to be in a spot they flew quite close to.\u00a0 A nearly tame Fox added to the mix.<\/p>\n<p><a
