Regency Boulevard, Hollo Road, and Newburg Road ~ October 31, 2022

With almost all of the warblers gone and many of the sparrows having moved on, the woods edge by the Regency Boulevard ponds was pretty quiet, although I did see a Winter Wren.

The north pond held a young Ruddy Duck, an American Coot, six Killdeer, and a Great Blue Heron.

The south pond produced three Hooded Mergansers and two Northern Shovelers.

At the Hollo Road pond, the Stilt Sandpiper continued to be seen along with the three Lesser Yellowlegs and four Killdeer.

Over at the Newburg Road pond, a Merlin was perched atop a tree by the pond.
