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.

Canada Goose           1
Mallard                1
Great Blue Heron       6
Turkey Vulture         2
Bald Eagle             1
Killdeer              69
GREATER YELLOWLEGS     1
Tree Swallow           2
CLIFF SWALLOW          1
Barn Swallow           4
Song Sparrow           2
