Today I did a short trip to Hanlan’s Point and part of Gibraltar Point and I arrived home this time before dark.
Common Loons, Horned Grebes, Red-necked Grebe, 4 Great Egrets, Lesser Yellowlegs, Spotted Sandpiper, Glaucous Gull, Caspian and Common Terns, Belted Kingfisher, Least Flycatchers, House Wrens, only 7 Ruby-crowned kinglets this time out, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Hermit Thrushes, Gray Catbirds, Brown Thrashers, Warbling Vireos, 11 warbler species including Ovenbird, Nashville, Cape May, Northern Parula, Blackburnian, Black-throated Blue, Black-throated Green, 21 Palm and many Yellow and 35= Yellow-rumped Warblers, Rose-breasted Grosbeak 8 sparrow species including Chipping, Savannah, Lincoln, Swamp and White-crowned and Baltimore Orioles. Reminder – Lots of wet areas on the lawns and in the bushes and getting to the beach on Hanlan’s to view the gulls, terns and possible shorebirds is very tricky unless you are wearing rubber boots.
