Green Pond, the Regency Ponds, and Housenick Park ~ March 20, 2026

Today's check of Green Pond produced 8 Snow Geese, 39 Mallards, 5 American Black Ducks, 5 Green-winged Teal, 3 Hooded Mergansers, 3 Killdeer, and 2 Common Grackles, plus the usual suspects.

Notables at the Regency Boulevard retention ponds were one Snow Goose, 3 Green-winged Teal, 16 Ring-necked Ducks, 9 Buffleheads, and 2 Killdeer.

While I was there, Marilyn Hessinger sent out a text about an Orange-crowned Warbler she found at Housenick Park. I went over there and met up with Adam Miller and Megan Davis. We searched the area unsuccessfully for the bird, but other birds found there included 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglets, 2 Field Sparrows, a Bald Eagle, a Merlin, and a Sharp-shinned Hawk.
