Blue-winged Teal and Night-Heron again at Green Pond ~ April 28, 2022

During my morning stop at Green Pond, I saw the pair of Blue-winged Teal that were also there yesterday. They were spending time in both Green Pond and the flooded grassy area just across the road northeast of the pond. It was nice to get some photos of the powder blue wing patches that give this bird its name.

Later, I noticed an adult Black-crowned Night-Heron in the northwest corner of Green Pond. This is most likely the same bird that has been sporadically seen there during this past week.

Other notables among the 39 species seen there included Wood Duck, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Solitary Sandpiper, Cooper's Hawk, Northern Rough-winged, Tree, and Barn Swallow, and Palm, Yellow, and Yellow-rumped Warbler.
