I took a trip to the Wallace Bay National Wildlife Area today around noon. The
breeze was nice and cool, but it made it much harder to see the few migrant
songbirds flitting through the trees overhead. Of what I could see, most were
Yellow-rumped warblers, a few were Common Yellowthroats and one was a Yellow
Warbler - nothing rare by any means. I did enjoy seeing so many Blue-winged Teal
(40+)and a pair of Northern Shovelers, along with a number of Pied-billed
Grebes, Hooded Mergansers and many other ducks that were too far out on the
bright water for me to see well, much less identify. I also saw the first
American Bittern I've actually seen in some time, and watched a young eagle
attempt to catch something in one of the ponds.
Other recent sightings include four Common Nighthawks foraging in Enfield on
Saturday, and a woodcock in my yard (seen by my mother, Barb) on August 21.
