Arlene Borko, Lance Verderame, Scott Baldinger and I all covered the Bashakill today at various times. We had a total of 70 species for the day, including many first of the season birds. Highlights included 11 species of Warblers. (Nashville, Blackburnian, Blue-winged etc). Other notable firsts were Marsh Wren, Warbling Vireo, Baltimore Oriole(SB), White-crowned Sparrow and Eastern Kingbird (LV). On the Bash itself, Common Moorhens -FOS (3), American Bittern, Pied-billed Grebe, Common Merganser, Wilson's Snipe and Virginia Rails were all present. Ducks included Canvasback, Northern Shoveler, Blue-winged Teal. A rather industrious Wood Duck hen already had 11 ducklings! John Haas
