Greetings,

While "working" today at the Aberdeen Proving Ground I took some time to 
check what was floating and flying around Spesutie Island. I found good 
numbers of passerines, ducks, geese, and swans (good is a relative term with 
the swan). Notables include: loads of Myrtle Warblers on the island, a 
handsome (eastern) Palm Warbler, Hermit Thrush, Meadowlark, Coot, Pied-
billed Grebe, Forster's Tern, and Lesser Yellowlegs. Decent numbers of 
sparrows where seen also, though not much effort was given to finding or 
ID'ing these. The sparrows seen included Savannah, Swamp, White-throated, 
Song, Junco, and Towhee. Waterfowl included: Mute Swan (29), Canada 
Goose, Mallard, Black Duck, Gadwall, A. Wigeon, Ruddy Duck, Ring-necked 
Duck, Lesser Scaup, and Northern Shoveler.   

Good Birding,
