The Osprey breeding has been terminated (eggs destroyed), so the barriers on the path have come down and one can walk around the pond. Ospreys are still perching on the platform and surrounding perches. Clapper Rails are very active calling in the marsh but stayed mostly hidden. Seaside Sparrows were also actively calling as were a Saltmarsh Sparrow. A Marsh Wren sang along the path by the west side of the pond while a Clapper Rail and Seaside Sparrow were calling just beyond in the marsh. All these marsh birds require patience to see. A Turkey Vulture flew over the marsh early in the morning heading NE. Sy Schiff
