Hi all, Kristin Snobeck and I went down to the Old Cedar Bridge Saturday and saw the following; Pewee Gray Catbird Ruby Throated Hummingbird- Three or four of these nearly crashed into the back of Kristin's head while chasing eachother Marsh Wren Am. Redstart Great Blue Heron Great Egret Song Sparrow N. Shoveler House Wren Bald Eagle Great Crested Cormorant Cedar Waxwing Emp. Flycatcher We also saw quite a few Eastern Tiger Swallowtails, both male and female.
The highlight actually wasn't avian. While walking down the boardwalk we nearly ran right into a young White Tailed Deer. It moved a few feet from us but then resumed eating as if we weren't there at all. On the way back to the parking lot later on we ran into two more ( I think one was the same one from the boardwalk) who seemed pretty interested in what we were doing. They walked right at us, stopped maybe ten feet from us, then decided they had seen enough and took off. This was Kristin's first time birding and she had a great time. When we got back to my apartment she sat down and started reading one of my field guides and is already excited for the next outing!
