Filed Under Spring Migration, Winter Birds |
The Black-headed Gull, was not too terribly difficult to find among a whole herd of Bonaparte’s Gulls at the Concrete Ship. Another good-sized bunch of Bonies were just off St. Mary’s Jetty as well, but contained nothing else of great interest.
Four White-winged Crossbills were hanging out in some Short-leaved Pine just near the recently razed building at the Villas WMA. THe birds were utterly fearless and could not have cared less that I was directly under their not-so-tall Pines. The one female took a little nap in fact. Amazing looks.
The Hen Eurasian Wigeon continues on the main pond there (all one had to do today was turn around from the Crossbills, and boom-there she was.
A Merlin, a getting brighter Yellow Plam Warbler, and lots Chipping Sparrows whose russet crowns are rapidly losing their streaks of autumn were also to be had there, anong others.
Norbury’s Landing on a rapidly incoming tide revealed more Black-bellied Plovers than I have yet seen this year. Also on the increase of hardy shorebirds note- A lone American Oystercatcher heading up into the bay today was a sight for sore eyes.
