I'm a bit behind on my eBird entries. Highlight was the first conspicuous evidence of fall passerine migration, with many Bobolinks and a few Kingbirds along the Wildlife Dr. An immature Peregrine Falcon was perched near the Seneca Spillway - presumably the same bird first seen by Joe and Diana Whiting at Mays Point on Tuesday evening.
Mays, Puddler, and Knox-Marsellus had fog late in the day. Visitor's Center: not many shorebirds but changes constantly Mays Point: plenty of shorebirds on the vegetation to the left and a few straight out; some dowitchers noted; plenty of peeps but viewing poor Puddler: viewing poor; lots of Caspian Terns and more dowitchers noted, but still very flooded and not a lot of shorebirds K-M: viewing poor, 1 or 2 Great Egrets For the last week or more, Great Egret numbers have been around 40-50 at Mays Pt plus a few at Benning Marsh and a few at K-M. Since Thursday evening's fog made viewing difficult, I may try a more complete look tonight at Mays.
