Two Snipe at Regency plus Hooded Mergansers ~ March 3, 2023

A quick stop at Green Pond produced a Northern Pintail in the retention pond with the Canada Geese and 3 Hooded Mergansers diving in the pond itself.
The Regency Boulevard's north pond held 6 Ring-necked Ducks and 3 Buffleheads among 126 Snow Geese, one of them a "Blue" Goose.


I checked the south pond to see if the Wilson's Snipe was still there and ended up finding two of them, one fairly close and the other much farther away.

The Northern Pintail also continued in the north pond along with a total of 13 Killdeer that were counted along both ponds.
A stop at the Newburg Road retention ponds yielded 4 Killdeer and 2 Savannah Sparrows. I got a poor photo of one of them before it flew into the thicker grass.
I checked the area around the retention pond at the St. Luke's Anderson Campus. One Hooded Merganser was on that pond and an Eastern Bluebird was seen along with 34 American Robins.
