A visit to Armitage Road and the Wildlife Drive this morning was quite productive. The PROTHONOTARY WARBLER started singing right at 8:00. He seemed to move about quite a bit. I tried to go down East Road but it was closed. Does anyone know why? The area at the Visitors center is completely green with nothing but Canada Geese. An ORCHARD ORIOLE was singing at the beginning of the wildlife Drive as previously reported. A ways down the drive ( I did not check the markings) I noticed a large group of shorebirds in the main pool. A large number of DUNLIN probably numbered over 100. LEAST SANDPIPERS and SEMI-PALMATED PLOVERS were more scattered and impossible to count. A single SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER and BLUE-WINGED TEAL were seen also. At the end of what was known as the new Shorebird Unit I heard another ORCHARD ORIOLE on the right side of the road. On Mays Point Road I saw one of the RED-HEADED WOODPECKERS.
