This morning, we did our second bird walk in the Myrick Marsh.  We ended
up with about 50 species of birds with a few species that were the First
of the Year (FOY) for me.
 

Highlights included:

 

Black Tern (FOY)

Warbling Vireo (FOY)

Baltimore Oriole (FOY)

Savannah Sparrow (unusual in the marsh)

White-throated Sparrows (a few)

Palm Warblers (a few)

Northern Waterthrush (everywhere)

Sora

Green Herons

 

Lots of shorebirds including 

Solitary Sandpipers (dozens - most I have ever seen in one place)

Lesser & Greater Yellowlegs (Many)

Wilson Snipe (1)

Pectoral Sandpiper (8-10)

Least Sandpiper (2)

 

It was a beautiful morning although there was very little movement of
warblers.

 

Good Birding,
