Another Upper Mount Bethel Township run ~ May 20, 2021

I started the day near Kirkridge where I was able to find Worm-eating and Cerulean Warbler, Great Crested Flycatcher, and Common Raven.





The only notables along Institute Drive were two Blackpoll Warblers. National Park Drive produced Ruby-throated Hummingbird, Red-shouldered Hawk, Swainson's Thrush, Cedar Waxwing, Worm-eating Warbler, Indigo Bunting, and an Acadian Flycatcher making its emphatic two-note call along the stream.


I stopped at Lake Minsi and found (or refound) a Common Gallinule, this time from the eastern parking lot in the vicinity of an American Coot.


A Least Sandpiper worked the muddy edge of the fishing jetty at the western parking lot while two Tree Swallows argued over territory.


On the return, I stopped at the Hollo Road retention pond where a Semipalmated Plover was among 11 Least and 3 Spotted Sandpipers. Later, at Green Pond, a transitioning Orchard Oriole sang near the intersection by the pond.
