Greetings,
I spent my happy hour in the marsh and along the trail out to Mav’s. Wind has finally come down so the water was pretty flat. Some good May finds included:
* Red-breasted Merganser (females, large pond and in the harbor),
* Gadwall (male, large pond),
* Red-necked Phalarope (continuing individual in main pond sporting fresh breeding plumage),
* Bufflehead (female),
* Lazuli Bunting (female),
* Northern Shoveler (a pair looking pretty cozy in the bend of the outer breakwater).
Notable was the absence of Great Blue Heron, Black-crowned Night Heron, swallows, and Common Yellowthroat.
