Critters and Beasts of Moberly Lake
June Cochrane describes wildlife events around Moberly Lake. Nestling barn swallows hatchlings suffer parasitic larvae and most perish while a hawk may have taken the mother. Hummingbirds depart, yellow warblers vanish, robins flock early, chickadees begin winter calls, and a belted kingfisher raises three young. A bald eagle drags a loon chick from the lake, sparking frustration at nature’s harsh balance. The author notes garden failures and ongoing effort to identify fly catchers and other birds despite difficulties.
