Today while volunteering at Shad Landing I saw the following birds.
*1 Philadelphia Vireo ( first heard then saw near the pond. ) a rare bird
for Worcester County
4 Red Eyed Vireos ( Was able to hear and see the two Species of vireos
together. The Phiadelphias voice was higher pitched and slower then the Red Eyes.
In appearances the Philadelphia had a yellow breast and smaller beak then the
Red eyed. )
6 Pine Warblers
1 American Redstart
2 Bald Eagles
12 American Goldfinches
15 Brown Headed Nuthatches
10 Ruby Throated Humming birds
1 White Eyed Vireo
2 Yellow Billed Cuckoos
1 Black Billed Cuckoo
1 Eastern Phoebe
1 Eastern Wood Pewee
5 Pileated Woodpeckers
13 Carolina Chickadees
9 Tufted Titmice
20 Purple Martins ( migrating )
2 Belted Kingfishers
14 Brown Thrashers
12 Blue Gray Gnatcatchers
20 American Robins
5 Eastern Bluebirds
25 Cedar Waxwings
3 Palm Warblers
1 Black and white warbler
13 Yellow Rumped Warblers
2 Scarlet Tanagers
5 Blue Grosbeaks
29 Chipping Sparrows
50 Boat tailed and Common Grackles ( flying southwest )
Starting last Tuesday I noticed Grackles, Redwing Blackbirds, Bobolinks and
Purple Martins congregating around the east shore of the Chesapeake Bay ready
to move forward on their migration.
Birding forever
