Subject: [MDBirding] DC: Possible Glossy Ibis at Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens
Hi all,
I too have to agree that this morning was the best migrant birding day of the
year so far.� I was at Ft. DuPont at 9am after seeing great radar returns from
the previous night at
http://people.mbi.ohio-state.edu/hurtado.10/US_Composite_Radar/ ,
but thought that I might be too late in the morning.� I was quite mistaken, as I
came across a plethora of warblers and other migrants singing until well past
11am.� I also had the pleasure of running into David Caldwell, and we birded
together, figuring that four eyes are better than two.
Several FOY for me, including:
Eastern Wood-Pewee
Great Crested Flycatcher
White-eyed Vireo
Black-and-white Warbler
American Redstart
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Black-throated Green Warbler
Scarlet Tanager
Baltimore Oriole
Afterwards I went to Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, hoping that my luck would
continue.� I ran into David Gibbons on the way in, who reported seing six GLOSSY
IBIS in the marsh off the first turnoff on the boardwalk.� Unfortunately, they
were gone by the time I could look for them.
The red throated Loon seen at KAG Sunday and Monday was not there, nor was the
Little Blue Heron that was there yesterday.
� Good birding,
