Cottage Birding

June 17, 2018

We have had multiple sightings of the Bald Eagles this year, but not the nest yet.



We checked out our resident Northern Waterthrush, as it was singing up a storm.


We had good action at the feeders, including a Hairy Woodpecker drinking from the hummingbird feeder!



We did our first loon count with disappointing results.  We counted 10 adult loons, but none on a nest, not even the old reliable gull rock site, which was occupied by Common Terns.





We took a drive out towards Cayamant to check on the heronry we discovered last year.  There were 3 nests occupied and a bonus Snapping Turtle trying to lay her eggs.





Patrolling up and down the road, we discovered a Cedar Waxwing,  a Magnolia Warbler, a Common Yellowthroat and a Swamp Sparrow.





Further along the road, by open fields, we saw a few Bobolinks, and an Eastern Kingbird.
