Jacobsburg State Park and Green Pond ~ April 28, 2024

In the morning, I went to Jacobsburg State Park to check for migrants. There were very few, but I did find singles of Gray Catbird, Wood Thrush, Baltimore Oriole, Black-and-white Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, and American Redstart.

Other notables included Common Merganser, Great Blue Heron, Bald Eagle, House Wren, Eastern Towhee, Field Sparrow, and several Yellow-rumped Warblers.

I stopped at Green Pond to see if the American Golden-Plover discovered yesterday was still there. It was. I got some better photos of it, including some while in flight.

There were seven other species of shorebirds there comprised of 23 Solitary Sandpipers, 9 Lesser Yellowlegs, 3 Greater Yellowlegs, 5 Least Sandpipers, 2 Spotted Sandpipers, 2 Wilson's Snipe, and 5 Killdeer.

Two American Pipits were feeding along the shoreline.
Seven Yellow-rumped Warblers, 2 Yellow Warblers, and a Palm Warbler were in the small wood patch by the intersection.
