I had the day off, so I spent the majority of today birding. Most of my time
was spent at Black Dog Road and Old Cedar Bridge/Bass Ponds and I saw some
great stuff. Things were really active and I saw a good variety of species.
Things of Interest:
Three River Otters- under the bridge on Black Dog Road
Harris Sparrow- an Immature and an adult
Swamp Sparrow
N. Shoveler
Am. Wigeon
N. Pintail
Nashville Warbler
Yellow Rumped Warbler
Ruby Crowned Kinglet
At about three thirty Roger Everhart and I made our way to 140th St Marsh.
There wasn't much there, actually it was almost silent. But on the way home we
took some backroads and found a small pond with a lot of ducks and a few
shorebirds.
Long Billed Dowitcher
Lesser Yellowlegs
Three Pectoral Sandpipers
This was just a great day. The weather was perfect and the birds were abundant.
I ended up with fifty one species for the day.
