Yesterday Bob Tyler and I birded Hanlan’s Point and the area at and around the Trout Pond on Gibraltar Point and again it was a slow migration day and about 95% of the small bird sightings were in the area at and beside the Hanlan’s Ferry dock.
Gadwalls, Wood Ducks, Blue-winged Teal, 2 Pied-billed Grebes, Great Egret, 2 Bald Eagles, Turkey Vultures, Broad-winged and Red-tailed Hawks. Merlin, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Least Flycatcher, Blue-headed and Philadelphia Vireos, Red-breasted Nuthatches, 1 Gnatcatcher only, Gray Catbirds, 1 late male Blue-winged Warbler, Black-and-white, Cape May, Magnolia, Bay-breasted (16), Yellow-rumped, and Wilson’s Warblers, American Redstarts, 11 Northern Parulas, Common Yellowthroat and Song Sparrows.
The beach area west of the airfield fence was almost birdless except for a couple of Song Sparrows but there were many Monarch Butterflies there both overhead and on the damp sand areas.
