Very few birds came into Thickson's Woods during the morning of Apr.25. Several walk-arounds yielded 1 Pine Warbler ,5 Yellow-rumpeds, 2 Hermit Thrush, 5 Winter Wren, 1 Brown Creeper, 1 Chipping Sparrow, very few White-throated Sparrows, 2 Towhees and an overhead C.Loon. I could not find the Blue-grey Gnatcatcher seen yesterday.
>From the north platform on the west side of Cranberry Marsh in southwest Whitby--4 Coot, 2 Ring-necked Duck, 1 Wood Duck, 2 Shoveler, 2 Pintail, several Blue-winged Teal, several Green-winged Teal, Gadwall, Mallard, Black and Am. Wigeon; a Pileated Woodpecker was heard, then flew eastward across the marsh. The platform's "resident" Swamp Sparrow, along with Song Sparrow, Chipping Sparrow, White-throated Sp. completes what I saw.
