I walked the south side of the Maple River from State Game Area headquarters out to the east edge of the Lane's Landing prothonotary woods for a couple hours at midday today. Unlike last Saturday's Big Day Count, the mosquitoes were here in significant numbers. Slap! Slap!
Of today's 41 species plus "gull", none were unusual. I think six of these were not recorded at his location on Saturday: Green Heron, Red-shouldered Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, Hairy Woodpecker, Alder Flycatcher and Lesser Yellowlegs.
Yesterday Ken Sapkowski photograped this Ruddy Turnstone at the Wastewater in one of the aeration cells immediately west of the red barn. It might be one of the birds that Charlie reported in his post below.
