I invite everyone to enjoy this very nice report from this morning's walk at SSW. Ken is new to our leader group, but an obvious asset.
A reminder to all, bird walks at Sapsucker Woods happen every Saturday and Sunday. Led by a wonderful group of bird club/CLO volunteers. See below. And enjoy. Linda Orkin > > This morning was overcast and cool as I lead a group of about 10 people into > Sapsucker Woods. Most of the action came early at our first stop - the Owens > Observation Platform and nearby area. We all got good looks at Yellow Warbles > (male and female), Yellow-rumped Warblers, Warbling Vireo and a Least > Flycatcher. An up close look at a Ruby-crowned Kinglet in the shrubs along > the start of the Wilson trail by the pond, and distant Wood Ducks, both on > the water and two of them at the top of the snag in the pond. At the > Sherwood Platform we pick up a singing Swamp Sparrow, a Kingfisher and a > Great Blue Heron working on getting a big fish down its gullet. Reversing our > path, we heard Common Yellowthroat and Eastern Towhee between the pond and > Fuller Wetlands. > > On a more personal note, I saw my FOY Scarlet Tanager singing form atop an > oak tree in my front yard on my way out to the Visitor Center.
