While walking the Great Egret Marsh Preserve today along West Harbor I saw several Bonaparte's gulls fly overhead and there were also gadwall, blue-winged teal, wood duck, mallard, Canada geese, trumpeter swan and common merganser in the marsh and harbor. Many great blue heron and great egret were lining the harbor today and I paused for a spell to watch a watersnake "swim" along the channel bordering the preserve's marsh. I also inadvertently flushed a brown thrasher from the edge of the marsh as I rounded a corner. Hoping everyone gets a chance to get out and enjoy this beautiful day.
