Some good birds at the Second Marsh today.
1st of all, the following were _missing_: Garganey, Eurasian Widgeon, Sandhill Crane, Little Gull.
The number of Bonapartes are way down with a flock of about 20-30 leaving at 10am and going north, leaving probably only 20 or so left.
There are at least 8 Black Terns, plenty of Caspian and Common Terns.
Duck numbers are also down, or at least not very visible. Only about 10 each of Am Widgeon, Coots, Blue-Winged Teal. A pair of Green-Winged Teals were at Jim's Pond.
At Jim's Pond, lots of Least Sandpipers, couple of Greater Yellowlegs.
A pair of American Bitterns flew by twice, and 3 Green Herons could be seen near the south east corner of the marsh. A pair of Kingfishers were quite active for about 1/2 hour putting on a nice show.
In Cool-Hollow, a Wood Thrush was seen and a winter wren. There's a lot more higher in the canopy.
In the trees near the parking lot, there were Warbling and Philadephia Vireos, lots of Yellow Warblers and a Male Orchard Oriole and Baltimore Orioles.
Lots of the other usuals.
