We were in Grassy Lake WMA again today. We searched the area with huge trees and a lake. We were not able to locate bark scaling, but did find some holes in the big trees. We placed a camera on the holes, but I don't think they could really be IBWO holes. We searched the forest until about noon and then decided to head to the lake.
We inflated our kayak and then headed into the water. The lake is almost totally covered in Lilly Pads, but there was a trail through them made by other boats. We were burning up, and almost headed back, but we didn't. Then as I was in the middle of a paddle stroke I heard something that sounded like what the Project Coyote team has recorded. I was not sure if it was a call, but we headed in it's direction and stopped at the bank of the lake. Then we both heard the sound again. It sounded exactly like what Project Coyote has recorded. It was an IBWO. We tried to move nearer to where the sound was coming from, but we never saw a bird. I was starting to think we wouldn't see or hear anything on this trip!
We also saw a few Alligators today.
We are going back to the lake tomorrow, maybe we'll see the IBWO.
