And I was just set to learn how to separate Little and Snowy Egrets, thanks to an excellent set of references courtesy of Harvey Mudd in response to my earlier query.. I did not find any of the above in Cecil County this weekend, but I did have the following on Saturday (6/13) afternoon, in between rainstorms: At Courthouse Point: Great Egret (2) Little Blue Heron (3 in adult plumage, 4 in mottled immature plumage - as Leslie Fisher reported last week) Killdeer (24) Semipalmated Sandpiper (4) plus lots of landbirds including Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Blue Grosbeaks, Indigo Buntings, Warbling Vireo, Yellow Warblers, Common Yellowthroats,Yellow-breasted Chat, both orioles. At Grove Neck Wildlife Sanctuary: Mute Swan (4 adults, 3 swimming young) American Coot plus landbirds same as at Courthouse Pt. I also checked the spot on Rt. 40 for the Least Flycatcher, but no show. However, it was late in the afternoon and raining, not ideal. I have been searching Cecil County diligently for Marsh Wrens and Chuck-will's Widows, and cannot find either this year, despite covering spots that have been good in the past. At home, like Leslie Fisher, I am hosting fledgling woodpeckers: Downy, Hairy, and Red-bellied. Barn Swallows have also fledged. A Cooper's Hawk cruises through every once in a while just to keep things exciting.
