Thanks to Chuck Finley for reporting the terns at Lilypons today. I was there in mid afternoon. Birds seen:
DC Cormorant 2 on the river
Great Blue Heron 2
Green Heron 1
Killdeer 1
Greater Yellowlegs 5
Spotted Sandpiper 1
Snipe 2
Bonaparte's Gull 2 (adult & im) circling low overhead
Forster's Tern 5 in breeding plumage or nearly there, sitting on plant signs
Later I stopped at Mason Dixon Farm. On the west pond was a pair of Green-winged Teal. At the east pond was one Kingbird, my first of the year.
At home this morning an Orchard Oriole was singing.
