Some recent arrivals:

3/11: Osprey
3/13: Northern Shoveler
3/15: Great Egret, Eastern Phoebe
3/19: Greater Yellowlegs (Marcia B.)
3/20: Tree Swallow
3/21: Pectoral Sandpiper (one day wonder)
3/25: Rusty Blackbirds
3/28: Snowy Egret (foraging this morning, already took off towards Ft. Smallwood)

Green-winged Teal were inconsistently seen this winter, but there have been upwards of 15-20 of them in the wetlands over the past week and are easily seen. No Little Blue Herons yet.

I also had 3 Caspian Terns at Diamond Point Road in Back River yesterday. They were flagged (early) on eBird. Despite scanning for over an hour from 3 vantage points, I did not relocate the Little Gull.
