On Sunday morning, a GREEN HERON was surveying Sapsucker Woods from high perches in the Fuller Wetlands and on the heron-cam snag in the main pond. Becky Hansen and her group also saw this bird. This is surely the earliest date in April for a local Green Heron sighting for me.
The other highlight of my circuit around the sanctuary was a WINTER WREN at the southern Wilson/Severinghaus intersection. The wren gave me several minutes of very fine views as it moved among decaying logs, stopping now and then to pump its body up and down in place. The bird did not sing, but gave a lot of helpful "jif-jif" vocalizations. Mark Chao --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
