Critters and Beasts of Moberly Lake Nature Log
June at Moberly Lake reflects on hummingbirds last seen Saturday the 16th with one visitor at 5:45 am. Other species like juncos cowbirds purple finches and white-throated sparrows are migrating south. Cedar waxwings hunt insects in willows while bears puncture a large inner tube and raid the raspberry patch. Tony and I witnessed two fishing eagles a grebe family and a belted kingfisher with a youngster. June has lived here over 20 years.
