Ospreyers - A mid-afternoon visit to Easton Waste Water TP today found the lower pond pretty well overgrown with grass, and holding water too deep for most of the shore birds. Highlights of birding were: Bobolinks - still there in great numbers (100 to 200) now in winter plumage Shovelers - 4 Blue-winged Teal - 40 (totally hidden in the tall grass of the pond until they flushed) Eastern Meadowlark - 2 Great Egret - 1 Least Sandpiper - 3 Sedge Wren - 2 (heard but not seen) ( Three or more of these have been mostly heard, and occasionally seen for the past three weeks in one of the sections of tall grass. For much of that time the birds were sufficiently secretive to defy correct identification. Earlier this week, several birders with patience, persistence and strong scopes managed to attain the correct identification when one of the birds finally cooperated enough to take position atop a bush and vocalize with reckless abandon.)
