6/1, Milford, Connecticut Audubon Coastal Center, 10am-1PM. mid tide-rising, sunny, 64-68F. The center was busy with human visitors who had lots of questions about our ospreys, purple martins and wildlife. Our ospreys were on site- female on nest, occasionally leaving it to stretch , arranging nest materials and back on nest- hard to tell if eggs have hatched yet since no camera is available, but she did have her head down into the nest on occasion. Male on his perch all morning. Plus 5 other ospreys across the marsh. Estimate of about 100 semipalmated sandpipers and 2 semipalmated plovers on mudflats, plus 1 DC cormorant (juvenile) and 3 Oystercatchers on another mudflat. 1 American Black duck, 1 Great egret, 1 Snowy egret, 1 Common Tern and 1 Least tern- flying & fishing. Same Canada Goose with drooping right wing on marsh edge, feeding and preening. On grounds: 1 Brown Thrasher and 1 Downy woodpecker on the suet cake, 5 Common grackles, about 8 American crows flying, 1 Barn swallow, 2 Tree swallows flying & entering a nest box, 2 Starlings, family of 4 House finches- feeding two of the juveniles, 1 Catbird, 1 Mockingbird, 2 Cardinals,; singing Carolina wrens and Titmouse, American robins, red winged blackbirds, Song sparrows and numerous House sparrows with young.
