East Bangor Dam and Green Pond ~ April 24, 2022

I spent the better part of the morning at East Bangor Dam. The best birds of the day were two Virginia Rails that occasionally called and eventually showed themselves in gaps in the vegetation.

Other birds seen there included Wood Duck, Double-crested Cormorant, Osprey, Golden-crowned Kinglet, Swamp Sparrow, Palm and Yellow-rumped Warbler, and my first Black-and-white Warbler of the year.
