First time to bird Shippingport Island. Easy access to Shippingport Island from 22nd Street Exit . As soon as you cross over the new bridge check the weedy banks on the right/east side of the road. There were lots of sparrows feeding in this area.

There is a new parking lot for fisherman enabling them to access the river. This should be a great area for warblers during migration.

Birds of interest:

Double-crested Cormorant (75+ flying overhead)

White-crowned Sparrow (FOS)

Swamp Sparrow

Song Sparrow

Yellow-rumped Warbler

Palm Warbler

Cedar Waxwings (many)

Bald Eagle (adult)

Cooper's Hawk

Kestrel

Observed (5) Eastern Phoebe feeding together along the edge of the woods, very active.
