Many of the birds seen there were similar to the previous days. The area produced Eastern Phoebe, Blue-headed Vireo, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Cedar Waxwing, warblers comprised of Tennessee, Nashville, Magnolia, Blackpoll, and Yellow-rumped, and sparrows that included Lincoln's, Swamp, Field, Chipping, White-throated, and Song. The field edge at the end of Steuben Road continued to hold 3 Savannah Sparrows.
The two Northern Shovelers continued in the north pond along with the Pied-billed Grebe.
I checked the edge of the pond and found three Killdeer but my eyes popped when I came across a Wilson's Snipe sitting pretty much out in the open!
I noticed a few raptors circling nearby. They turned out to be a Red-tailed Hawk, a Cooper's Hawk, and a Northern Harrier.
The south pond continued to hold the American Coot and an American Black Duck.
I decided to see what was at Green Pond. A Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 2 Yellow-rumped Warblers, 6 American Goldfinches, 2 Lincoln's Sparrows, and about 20 Brown-headed Cowbirds were by the little pond next to the house on the corner.
The former flooded field area that used to hold gulls and shorebirds in previous years is now overgrown. It held 8 Palm Warblers and 4 Savannah Sparrows.
My last stop at the Newburg Road pond where I found 15 Palm Warblers (one of them a "western" Palm), 9 Savannah Sparrows, a Field Sparrow, and a group of about a hundred Brown-headed Cowbirds.
