Hi Everyone,

Tonight (26 April 2010) after our Tri-County Bird Club meeting, Carol Broderick, Chris Dominick, Mike Walsh, and I did some listening at Ellis Bay WMA from 9:30-10:45.  Calm conditions, mostly overcast with a few sprinkles, moon nearly full (behind the clouds).  The marsh was quiet overall, but a few birds "spoke up":

American Bittern--1 booming at a fair distance
Black-crowned Night Heron--2
Virginia Rail--1
Chuck Will's Widow--3
Seaside Sparrow--1

Have fun,
