Jacobsburg State Park ~ April 29, 2025

This morning was spent at Jacobsburg State Park where I tallied 54 species. First-of-the-year birds included Blue-headed Vireo, Blackburnian, Black-and-white, Black-throated Blue, and Nashville Warbler, plus Baltimore Oriole. I got some mediocre photos of some of them.

Three Common Mergansers were seen along the Bushkill Creek. One of the two females grabbed a large fish and eventually let it go when it realized it bit off more than it could chew.

A pair of Brown Thrashers were feeding in front of the visitor center.
