Hi everybody:
My wife and I spent the w/e in Dewey Beach, Del. On Saturday I got up early and spent a few morning hours birding in Wicomico County. At Adkins Mill Park I found a drake Blue-winged Teal (a county bird) and then I spent close to an hour on Bear Swamp Rd. I had three FOY warblers, all were first heard and then seen:
LOUISIANA. WATERTHRUSH (3)
BLACK & WHITE WARBLER (1)
N. PARULA WARBLER (1)
On the way home we stopped at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center and I was able to see the pair of Long-tailed Ducks (a great County bird). Thanks for the initial post about these and all of the updates. It was a nice ending to a great w/e. The Long-tailed Ducks were seen at the far end of the lake where previously reported at about 3:30 PM (on Sun. 4/4).
