Hello All! The sunshine today has been a welcome change from yesterday's cooler conditions and there have been a few more birds sighted in the park today,
The Eared Grebe continued to be seen throughout the day off the Tip. It's been quite close into shore at times allowing for some great photo opportunities. Several Horned Grebes were also noted in the large groups of mergansers. The large group of Surf Scoters was still present off the west side of the park today. A few more species of warbler were noted today including: Pine Warbler at the Tip, Magnolia Warbler and Yellow Warbler in the north end of the park and Black-and-white at Sanctuary. A Red-headed Woodpecker was heard at the park gates this morning and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers continue to be reported. A Great Crested Flycatcher was seen by many in Tilden's today and Eastern Kingbird was reported from Northwest Beach this afternoon, along with Cliff Swallow. A male Rose-breasted Grosbeak was noted on the seasonal birding trail north of Sanctuary. There was still a good number of birds in this part of the park, like yesterday. Good birding everyone.
