Jacobsburg and Green Pond ~ April 30, 2021

My route at Jacobsburg State Park provided looks at Broad-winged Hawk, House Wren, Gray Catbird, Ovenbird, Black-and-white Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher.

I checked out Green Pond and found 13 Solitary Sandpipers, 3 Spotted Sandpipers, 4 Lesser Yellowlegs, a Wilson's Snipe, and 4 Killdeer in the flooded field area while 6 Chimney Swifts chittered overhead.

While watching about a dozen vultures comprised of both Black and Turkey Vultures feeding on a carcass in the stubbled cornfield, I noticed a Bald Eagle glide in and chase the vultures off of it. After getting his fill, he took off and flew right by me.
