This morning Feller led seven of us northeast of Montague around the Henderson Lake Nature Center and the Clear Springs Preserve where we recorded 14 and 17 species respectively.
Ken scans the south end of Henderson Lake.
We had several sightings of Green Heron here, plus a Least Bittern. There were fewer birds along the north side probably due to dozens of frisbee competitors, many of them decked out professionally.
They did not frighten this pair of "wood ducks" which are ...
... according to Sibley, plastic.
Acadian Flycatchers sang at Clear Springs. The fledgling of one begged its parent for food. We also heard and saw at least one Yellow-throated Vireo.
Otherwise we enjoyed everyday summer birds this beautiful summer morning and didn't have enough time to bird Whitehall as had been planned.
