Great foggy and drizzly morning down on the Eastern Promenade had all sorts of birds hunkered down. 44 species total, which is darn near a record-breaker for me for that patch.
Highlights included: some aerial skirmishing between a COMMON RAVEN and an AMERICAN CROW, bucket loads (relatively speaking) of SAVANNAH SPARROWS and YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, my first-of-year BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLERS, and what I am fairly certain (despite tripping the eBird rarity alert) was a WARBLING VIREO that was real friendly.Three OSPREY nests are currently occupied all around the mouth of Back Cove, with at least one of them crashing into treetops to break off sticks for their nest.
Thank you to the wise birder who suggested to me this wet week would be a good one for birds. Good tip!
