Marine Nature Study Area, 16 March
Signs of Spring are here with a pair of Ospreys at the nest platform
(one arrived yesterday), a pair of Peregrine Falcons in the nest box (per the
cam images), a Greater Yellowlegs earlier on the week and a first Tree Swallow
today.
While we watched, the Brant across the channel erupted and finally a
circling speck in the sky proved to be an immature Bald Eagle. A pair of
Goldeneye continue in the channel with Red-breasted Mergansers. Red-winged
Blackbirds are feeding in the marsh, but otherwise no new small birds.
