10/30/2011 Bombay Hook, DE : We were down during the storm and noticed the American Avocets were feeding close to the road. We came back the next morning when it was brilliant out and they were still there. Also: a Ruby-crowned Kinglet , a Northern Pintail (f), a Canada Goose flock and a Snow Goose flock (with some blue geese in the batch) and a Yellow-rumped Warbler break-dancing before migration? |
11/5/2011 We wandered some of the sites in Northern Delaware and caught a Swamp Sparrow , a Ruby-crowned Kinglet , and an Orange-crowned Warbler. A classic Red-tailed Hawk soared by while an American Robin flock were trying to eat berries. A Carolina Chickadee stopped by to investigate US. |
