Nazareth Quarry, Jacobsburg, and Green Pond ~ April 29, 2024

I made a quick stop at the Nazareth Quarry to see if the fog might have caused some birds to drop in there, but only 4 Double-crested Cormorants and a Great Blue Heron were seen.

I took a walk along the Sober's Run section of Jacobsburg State Park. Again, it was mostly uneventful with the exception of some birds. These included Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Gray Catbird, Wood Thrush, Eastern Towhee, Baltimore Oriole, Ovenbird, Yellow Warbler, and Black-and-white Warbler.

My last and best stop of the day was at Green Pond. The American Golden-Plover continued for the third day.

The two Wilson's Snipe also continued there.
Seven American Pipits were also present along the muddy edges of the flooded area.

A Yellow-rumped Warbler posed for a photo in the wood patch by the intersection.
Other notables included 3 Pectoral Sandpipers, 17 Solitary Sandpipers, 3 Spotted Sandpipers, 6 Least Sandpipers, 3 Lesser and one Greater Yellowlegs, and a Warbling Vireo.
