I spent some time this morning at Big Island Wildlife Area, around the parking area west of the observation deck on Route 95. A Greater Yellowlegs was seen on the pond west of the ditch across from the white building. This was the first fall migrant I have seen. Also of note was a single Cliff Swallow flying over the smaller pond behind the white building. I observed it for a short time, then it flew west and I could not relocate it. Here is a complete list of the birds I saw.
