Henricus was quiet for our regular RAS walk today. We identified
only 47 species. However, what we saw was good. We had a very
close look at a male Prothonatory Warbler as he landed only feet
from where we stood. We also had good looks
at a singing female Redstart and a most obliging White Eyed
Vireo. We watched a Red Winged Blackbird harass an immature Bald
Eagle...and win. At one point we had male and female Blue
Grosbeaks and an Indigo Bunting in the scope at the same time. The
Green Heron did a flyby as we stood on the second
platform. But the best bird of the day was the Least Bittern. It flew in
front
of the second platform and dropped into the marsh...just as Al
War field pulled off in his car. (Sorry, Al.)
