I visited the Goetchius Preserve in Caroline this morning. When I arrived,
there was a GREAT EGRET perched high in a tree at the back of the open
water. On my way back through an hour or so later, it was gone. From the
road, I also spotted a BROWN THRASHER and a YELLOW WARBLER. Walking through
the preserve (in wellies) I found five LESSER YELLOWLEGS and three KILLDEER
in the newly restored wetland area. In the wooded area behind, I found a
PALM WARBLER, two RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS, and another YELLOW WARBLER. There
were SAVANNAH SPARROWS sprinkled across the field and a BROAD-WINGED HAWK
flew overhead.
New yard birds this morning included a dozen WHITE-THROATED SPARROW, a pair
of COWBIRDS, a BLUE-HEADED VIREO, a flying BROAD-WINGED HAWK being harassed
by crows, and a BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER.
