Went on a solo shot to Point of Rocks park this morning around
8:30am.........The field on the way in was peppered with large flocks of
European Starlings. Through the woods on the way to the first(and highest)
marsh overlook...juv. American Robin, Northern Cardinal, Tufted Titmouse,
Carolina Wren(myriad), and Hermit Thrush...from the first marsh
overlook...Common Yellowthroat(female), Prothonotary Warbler, Red Winged
Blackie(female)...through the forest again headed to the second (lower, closer
to the river)marsh overlook platform...White-Eyed Vireo, Blue Jay, Gray
Catbird(wonderful how you can draw this baby out by mewing, he was being
worried by a pair of Carolina Wrens..and was puffing and breathing his Whoof!
call), Red Bellied and Hairy Woodpeckers, Brown Thrasher, Carolina Chickadee,
American Goldfinch...on the river I saw absolutely NO waders at all(is this
common this time of year?)but did see(and, of course heard)a Red-Shouldered
Hawk circling high above the
current...last, but most certainly not least, at the edge of the wide field,
parking lot side, I spotted an Eastern Phoebe in the under-canopy being silent
and elusive....GOTCHA!
