Thursday was a beautiful day. A good day to bird with sixty two birds noted fifty nine seen and three heard.
Sami and I saw 13 species just in the parking lot at Shirley's Bay. Bill Bowman joined us on the dike where we had some shorebirds -- Lesser Yellowlegs (at least 15), Solitary Sandpiper (1), Killdeer (4) and Spotted Sandpiper (at least 2 maybe 4). Lots of Great Egrets, we did not count them. Four Belted Kingfishers and a Ruby-throated Hummingbird were also seen.
We headed to the area on Thomas Dolan where we had seen Eastern Towhee in previous years, no luck, but we did see Field Sparrow and White-throated Sparrow. We saw two Green Heron in a tree. Off to 5th Line, where we saw one the Eastern Bluebird and the Eastern Meadowlark (2).
