May 26

Very warm and windy. I started my walk and this was my first sight. A Great Egret, a Snowy Egret and 4 Glossy Ibis. They were all feeding together in Rosie’s Pond very close to the train yard. It always surprises me to find different species feeding together. The snowies in particular seem to like mixed crowds.

The Osprey are still on the platform and active. A Peregrine flew by and casually intimidated a crow as if for the fun of it. The Long Thicket had a Yellow Warbler and the usually loud crew of red-wings, grackles and cat birds. A Baltimore Oriole passed quickly by. The Overlook had a few mallards and a Willet.  The Boardwalk provided this picture of an Ibis feeding in the middle of an algae bloom.

Then the park had a Kestrel and two Bobolinks. It was a treat to be out today and see all these birds.

Ciao!
