Today we went birding on the Pleasant River from the boat ramp in Addison. We observed kettles of Herring Gulls (with a few Great Black-backed Gulls mixed in) and Bald Eagles moving high and northward and there were hundreds on the grassy areas above the high tide. Killdeer, Green-winged Teal, Common Mergansers, a large mixed flock of Red-winged Blackbirds and Common Grackles made a lot of noise! We also observed a kettle of 8 Bald Eagles.
In South Addison at the edge of town there is a great feeder set-up! There were Tree Sparrows, Song Sparrows and large numbers of juncos. At the Moose Neck boat ramp the small flock of Greater Scaup is still present.
And close to home there was our first Song Sparrow for the year and large numbers of Long-tailed Ducks, Bufflehead, Common Golden-eye and Black Ducks.
It seems as though it all happened overnight!
