Improbably Yellow Birds, etc.

So much bird excitement at Presque Isle State Park, running very late on today’s post. (“Spoiler alert:” Canada Warbler!) Ahead of the weekend, lots of ongoing American Robin, Common Grackle, Red-winged Blackbird, Gray Catbird!, Yellow Warbler, Song Sparrow, etc. activity. So much so, hard to keep an eye out for the less common offerings. Warbler activity overall remains good, but erratic. Same with shorebirds, e.g., Semipalmated, Piping, and Black-bellied Plover sighted at Gull Point recently, otherwise fairly quiet other than Spotted Sandpiper.

American Goldfinch (m), lovely wing feather view

More recent sightings forthcoming; here’s Leo’s Landing @ early morning (e.g., 7AM) on Global Big Day last Saturday.

    These photos are positively wonderful. Such a variety! The yellow warbler looks like a ‘peep!” and the GBH ….wow!
