I walked around Yorktown National Battlefield this morning. There were
quite a few (about 20) COMMON LOONS under the Route 17 bridge (Coleman) to
Gloucester. Also saw a imm. BALD EAGLE, COMMON GOLDENEYE, BUFFLEHEAD, and
flyby SCAUP of unknown species. There weren't many other birds, but it was
a rather nice day, except for the wind, in comparison to the last few days.
I also stopped by the pond in the Belmont on York residential area. This
pond is located just east of the Hampton Blvd (Route 134) and Big Bethel
Road in York county. The residential area is on the south side of Hampton
Blvd. There have been REDHEAD reported at this location, and I was able to
see 6 REDHEAD, as well as 11 RUDDY DUCKS, 6 AMERICAN COOT, 4 SCAUP (appeared
to be LESSER), and >10 MALLARD.
