While I did not have a lot of time, the landfill was pretty active this morning reaffirming the meadow restoration. Highlights were a blue grosbeak, Nelson’s sparrow, and a dickcissel (although I dipped on the latter). Good numbers of swamp and savannah sparrow; up to 6 marsh wrens seen; as well as 30-40 bobolinks still staging in phrags on east side of landfill. My kestrel count was up to 7. Some other fall migrants around as well. Despite the rains, I encountered no shore birds either in ball field area or on landfill.
Stay on the main paths. Thanks. L.
