20 birders joined us for an and dry Sunday morning survey of Dyke
Marshthis morning. This survey, sponsored by Friends of
Dyke Marsh, meets every Sunday morning except during Christmas Bird counts
at 8:00 at the Belle Haven picnic area. All are welcome.
Highlights were Common Yellowthroat in the cattails at the end of Haul Road
seen and heard calling from the boardwalk by most of the group and an
unusually high count of very vocal Winter Wren. The Fox Sparrow was heard
only; many thanks to Ed Eder for identifying it and finding several other
species. The list follows:
