Wilson's Snipe at Green Pond ~ March 26, 2026

Temperatures had jumped into the 70's when I stopped at Green Pond around 2:00. I saw my first two Chipping Sparrows along the macadam path by the golf course along with an Eastern Phoebe, 4 Eastern Bluebirds, 6 Dark-eyed Juncos, and numbers of American Robins.

Two Bald Eagles and a Red-tailed Hawk circled overhead, causing the ducks and geese to get nervous.

A scan around the edge of the Green Pond Road retention pond revealed a Wilson's Snipe, another first-of-the-year bird for me.

Also seen in the area were 12 Snow Geese, 33 Canada Geese, 23 Mallards, 4 Green-winged Teal, and 6 Red-winged Blackbirds.
