After spending yesterday morning looking for a Yellow-throated Warbler, Adam Smith found one along the Delaware Canal near Raubsville this morning, so I birded that section of the canal after getting my car inspected. Probably because it was the middle of the day and there was some light rain coming down, I birded around a half-hour there before I finally heard it singing. My hearing in my right ear is bad, so it's always tough for me to get a direction on where the singing is coming from. I finally saw the bird, as expected, in one of the tall sycamore trees and got some mediocre photos of it against the gray skies.
Other birds found there included 2 Common Mergansers, 5 Northern Rough-winged Swallows, an American Goldfinch, 3 White-throated Sparrows, and 5 Yellow-rumped Warblers.
There were 5 Hooded Mergansers in the retention pond at the corner of Northwood Avenue and Van Buren Road.
The Nazareth Quarry held 4 Snow Geese, 11 Northern Shovelers, 14 Buffleheads, 77 Ruddy Ducks, an American Coot, and 12 Double-crested Cormorants.
Green Pond continued to hold 43 Snow Geese.
