Jeff Culler and I spent the morning and early afternoon in Wicomico County.
The highlights were:
Pemberton Park
Common Merganser 2 Seen from the Bell Island Trail near the intersection
with Osprey Trail.
Oliver Dr Pond
Hooded Merganser 3
Belted Kingfisher
Tyskin Park
Canvasback 130
Lesser Scaup 20
Surf Scoter 1
Common Goldeneye 8 + 15 at Cedar Hill Marina
Red-breasted Merganser 8 + 14 at Cedar Hill Marina
Ruddy Duck 3
Chipping Sparrow 6
Waterview - all they way to the end of the road
Northern Harrier 1
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER 2; 1 originally found by Bill Hubick. Thanks Bill!
They were on both sides of the road. Jeff was able to get a close-up photo.
Schumaker Pond
Northern Shoveler 1, male
Ring-necked Duck 75
Salisbury Landfill viewed from Naylor Mill Rd
Lesser Black-backed Gull 8 (juveniles to adults)
We searched through 2000 gulls and did not find Mikey's Thayer's Gull or
the Glaucous Gulls. There were at least 2000 other gulls on the landfill
side. A couple of Bald Eagles kept spooking the gulls.
