Lehigh River Towpath and Green Pond ~ April 25, 2023

I decided to walk the Wilson Avenue area of the Lehigh River towpath. An immature Bald Eagle circled high overhead.

Two Common Mergansers sat on a rock in the middle of the river.

A pair of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers flew over the trail. One of them was gathering material, presumably to line the nest with.

Near the end of the walk, I saw my first Gray Catbird and House Wren of the year.

A good number of 16 Yellow-rumped Warblers and 24 White-throated Sparrows were scattered along the trail. Also seen were Belted Kingfisher, Chimney Swift, American Goldfinch, and Palm Warbler.

I then drove over to Green Pond. The small, wooded area at the intersection by the pond held Blue-headed Vireo, Purple Finch, American Goldfinch, White-throated Sparrow, and another 11 Yellow-rumped Warblers.

Over at the nearby retention pond along Green Pond Road, a Greater Yellowlegs fed along its edge while the lingering Snow Goose continued on the bank.
