Paddled out to Stratton this morning (against a furious headwind) for a visit before the terns set up shop. Saw 3 common terns, 1 with a fish in its beak, flying over. Other highlights included 5 very loud American Oystercatchers, a flock of 13 Black-Crowned Night-herons roosting, 3 Northern Shovelers on the pond, including 2 gorgeous males. Many egrets and ibis roosting as well. The only passerines besides the usual blackbirds were Tree Swallows and Song Sparrows. I did not go into the brush/woods for fear of disturbing nesting birds, but you can get a good feel for whats going on in there just standing on the rocks. No warblers (where are thou, warblers!?).
