Marine Nature Study Area 2 September Hot, muggy slow day with only a half dozen shorebird species. Both a GREEN HERON and a CLAPPER RAIL moved lazily and posed for pictures along with a non-spotted SPOTTED SANDPIPER. A ROYAL TERN also flew by and posed,
A YELLOW WARBLER and COMMON YELLOWTHROAT continued around the path. A marsh sparrow also continues in the marsh but got away before we could get its id The first migrants for the upland location were a YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER and EASTER TOWHEE. There are a number of community garden boxes on the property full of lovely flowers with EASTERN GOLDFINCH adding color to the plants. Take a look at Mike's Face book page.
