Very windy, gusts to 21 mph. No Sparrows seen or heard in the marsh. A WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER posed next to a SEMIPALMATED (nice size comparison in the photo), first for me as all the prior reports have come from later in the day after I left. All together 11 species of shorebirds. CLAPPER RAILS were much subdued but one managed to walk around in the open whale a few others called. The MARSH WREN continues singing in the reeds next to the west side of the pond., singing three feet away, burroughed in and I couldn’t find it.
A WILLOW FLYCATCHER continues and can be heard at the end of the boardwalk on the golf course side. The Thunderbirds are practicing for this weekend’s holiday show and flew over so I could take their picture. Hey, they’re birds.
