All,
A small group of us enjoyed a very pleasant morning as part of a
semi-regular Bay Creek residents bird walk today (Northampton County,
lower Eastern Shore). Highlights were three bald eagles with at least
one of them vocalizing several times, good looks at swamp sparrows and
ruby-crowned kinglets and, after the walk was over, a VESPER SPARROW on
the drive out of the village. Complete list attached.
