Hi Everyone,
Not many migrants were moving through Bayside and Bayside Campground on Assateague this morning (14 Oct 2010); but there is always something happening on Assateague, and Lauren Hendley and I counted egrets, herons, and cormorants, and noted some new arrivals for us here this fall: 2 HORNED GREBES, 1 ad male BLACK SCOTER, 1 WINTER WREN, 3 GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS, and 3 DARK-EYED JUNCOS. The hawk watches at Cape Henlopen and Ashland Nature Center in DE showed similarly low levels of migration today.
Our complete lists for the morning are below.
Have fun,
