What a beautiful day to go birding!!
Along the fishing pier at Black Walnut Point:
30-40 Buffleheads
25 Scaup
A pair of Long-tailed Ducks
Several Surf Scoters, including one very handsome adult male which has been hanging out there for a week or so. Today he was scratching his head for a colorful view of his bright red legs.
4 fly-by Brown Pelicans
2 Bald Eagles
Fairbank Cove (behind you as you look out from the fishing pier):
2000 Ruddy Ducks
300 Scaup
and, from the wharf at the end of Fairbank Road,
1 Red-throated Loon [this one made me happy]
1/2 mile Audubon trail just past the Naval facility at the end of the pier:
A pile of Yellow-rumped Warblers - these guys are always around the bayberry on your left when the shrubbery first tightens up around the trail
1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Tilghman marina:
3 Tundra Swans
1 Great Black-backed Gull
1 Lesser Black-backed Gull
Along the road between Wittman and Tilghman:
28 Eastern Bluebirds
3 American Kestrels
1 Cooper's Hawk
1 Brown Creeper
Carolina Chickadees, Carolina Wrens, Northern Mockingbirds, American Crows, Red-bellied and Downy Woodpeckers, Red-breasted Nuthatches.
I am new to the mid-Atlantic and thus unsure as to what is worth posting.....
Good Birding!
