I took a late-morning walk through Sheldon's Marsh today. The migrant
songbirds have started moving. I saw a mixed-species flock consisting
of White-breasted Nuthatches, Tufted Titmice, Red-eyed Vireos, Black-
throated Green Warblers, and Eastern Wood Peewee. There was a female
Ruby-throated Hummingbird with them for awhile but she didn't stay
with the group and probably just happened to be there. The usual
species of songibrds were around including Eastern Bluebird and Gray
Catbird, but they were quiet. There were 4 American Black Ducks in
the water along the walkway and 3 Common terns just off the beach.
The gulls were too far out in the water to determine whether there
were any Bonaparte's in the mix.
