Took advantage of a cooler day to go for a walk over to Eagle Point Park, which mother nature is doing her best to reclaim! Didn't see anything terribly exciting, just what you would expect. Lots of activity around the Martin boxes but all Tree Swallows, didn't see any sign of the Martin, expect he is now one of those at Nicomen Slough.
Here is a list of what was over there:
White Crowned Sparrows including juvenile
Robins, including juveniles
Song Sparrows
Barn Swallows (lots in the development)
Chestnut backed Chickadee - seemed to be a family
Tree Swallows - lots
Cedar Wax Wings - could hear them but didn't see any
Spotted Sandpiper - saw at least 3 plus one fledgling
Red Wing Blackbirds - saw 4 or 5, not nearly as many as before
Goldfinch - saw one male
Brewer's Blackbird - one male
Northern Rough Wing Swallows - saw a couple
Yellow Warbler - just caught a glimpse of what looked like a family
Bullock's Oriole - 2 males
Common Yellow Throat - heard at least 2
Hopefully this weekend we'll get back out on the water for a more thorough look of the area.
