I woke up this morning and saw that a green heron was reported yesterday afternoon at Brydon so I quickly got up and headed out to try and find it. I was lucky and saw it on the north side of the lagoon. It was quite far away so I tried to proceed west to a better vantage point but it was gone by the time I got there. Hopefully it returns.
It was just a quick outing, less than an hour and I didn't venture beyond the lagoon and the marsh. The blue-winged teal were still present with 2 on the lagoon and 2 on the marsh. A FOY for me was a greater yellowlegs on the marsh. Also a couple spotted sandpipers present.
Here's my list:
Canada Goose 5
Gadwall 1
Mallard 30
Blue-winged Teal 4
Hooded Merganser 1
Pied-billed Grebe 1
Green Heron 1
Spotted Sandpiper 2
Greater Yellowlegs 1
Belted Kingfisher 1
Northwestern Crow 6
Northern Rough-winged Swallow 3
Tree Swallow 1
Violet-green Swallow 8
Barn Swallow 8
Black-capped Chickadee 1
Bushtit 3
Marsh Wren 1
Swainson's Thrush 1
American Robin 1
European Starling 3
Cedar Waxwing 2
Common Yellowthroat 3
Yellow Warbler 2
Spotted Towhee 4
Song Sparrow 4
Red-winged Blackbird 10
House Finch 6
House Sparrow 10
