Birded Garrett county this Sunday. A beautiful day to be out, with
RUFFED GROUSE drumming and RUBY CROWNED KINGLETS and RUSTY BLACKBIRDS
singing at Finzel.
Found a few first of the year birds for Garrett � at least based on
eBird reports: NORTHERN SHOVELERS at both Finzel and Piney Run
Reservoir, and LESSER YELLOWLEGS, a SOLITARY SANDPIPER, and a
BROAD-WINGED HAWK at Broadford Lake.
Overall, was pleasantly surprised to find a good variety of ducks still
around, including GADWALL and BLUE-WINGED TEAL at Piney Run and more
BLUE-WINGED TEAL at Broadford Lake. Almost every body of water had
BONAPARTE'S GULLS, including the pond at Finzel! � only one other eBird
record from that location which is from 1987. But oddly, no other
species of gulls were evident, and I also checked Jennings-Randolph Lake
and Deep Creek Lake.
Good birding!
