Howdy All!
Sat - 9/25
After leaving Turkey Pt (see Leslie Fisher's post),
George Jett and I birded Cecil and Kent Counties
(wait, isn't Kent really in Delaware? <grin> ). At
the entrance to Eastern Neck NWR a very cooperative
SORA was in the same scope view as a CLAPPER RAIL. At
the wharf we found a YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER. Since
the rest of the refuge was closed (young hunter's
day), we drove over to John Brown Road where we had
40+ KILLDEERs and 3 AM GOLDEN PLOVERs (1 molting adult
and 2 juv).
Sun - 9/26
I joined the SMAS bird walk at Pt Lookout. Mosquitoes
were abundant, but the birding was a little slow.
Even so, we managed to dig up a very colorful
PHILADELPHIA VIREO and looked up in time to see a
MERLIN sail overhead.
Mon - 9/27
Just came from southern St Marys County where Patty
Craig found a NELSON'S SHARP-TAILED SPARROW and was
kind enough to alert me soon enough to see it.
(Thanks Patty!)
