Forgetting to post the birds seen on a short outing Thursday afternoon, I
decided to do it again today (same time and route) and compare the two...taking
into account last night's rain and today's wind.
Yesterday, I found my FOS goose flock in a farm field, with Canada being the
only specie present. Once again, a single Turkey Vulture was seen along Sound
Ave, which makes one wonder if this is the same individual that has been seen
by a number of birders, in the same general area, over the last 2-3 weeks?
Finally, single Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, plus 3 Pectoral Sandpipers, were
activley feeding at a farm pond.
Today, the goose flock (somewhat diminished) was in the same field, and still
made up of only Canadas. "Lonesome George" was not to be seen, as were the
shorebirds, who had left the "edge-less" pond, which had been filled by the
overnight rain.
Cheers, Bob
