Waders at Green Pond and Other Spots ~ August 17, 2025

At the Hollo Road retention pond, there was a Great Blue Heron, a Lesser Yellowlegs, a Solitary Sandpiper, and a Baltimore Oriole.

At the nearby Shoeneck Creek, I found 2 Northern Flickers, 2 Eastern Kingbirds, 2 Bank Swallows among around 25 Northern Rough-winged Swallows, 3 Gray Catbirds, a Cedar Waxwing, 3 American Goldfinches, and an Indigo Bunting.
Over at the Tatamy Exit retention pond, there were 6 Lesser Yellowlegs, a Killdeer, a Semipalmated Plover, and another Great Blue Heron.

The Newburg Road pond held a Greater Yellowlegs, yet another Great Blue Heron, plus 4 Killdeer in the grassy field.

As I approached Green Pond, I saw the Little Blue Heron and the 3 Great Egrets perched along its edge.
I got some nice comparison shots of a Great Egret perched above the Little Blue.

Along the paved path, I saw 3 Great Blue Herons in the Farmersville Road pond and 3 Green Herons, 2 Spotted Sandpipers, a Lesser Yellowlegs, a Killdeer, and 4 Chimney Swifts at the back middle pond.


A Great Crested Flycatcher and a Warbling Vireo were in the trees around the small, wooded pond by the house.

When I walked over to Green Pond, one of the Great Egrets was very close to the road and flew to the back when it saw me. Two more Green Herons were also there.
