Pickerel Creek WA provided enough entertainment today, Monday, that we birded there from 2:45PM to 5:15PM. The weather was pleasant and breezy, with a few ticks for excitement. The area northeast of the pump-house and parking lot off of highway US6 was super productive. A wonderful variety of birds were present. Some of our highlights were a male Wilson's Phalarope(best seen from the back left corner looking east), a Snowy Egret in breeding plumage (bright red facial skin), 274+ Caspian Terns, two not one Peregrine Falcons, Black-bellied Plovers, Dunlins, Semipalmated Sandpipers and Plovers, Short-billed Dowitchers, a single Common Tern, and a male Orchard Oriole, just to name a few. A scope is necessary.
