Adventures in Birding

#89-99

I went on a bird walk to a nearby county, a really nice piece of land called Montour Preserve. It's a big park so we didn't cover all of it, but I got a ton of new water-bird species!

#89 - Ruddy Duck
#90 - Horned Grebe  
#91 - Lesser Scaup
#92 - Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
#93 - Greater Yellowlegs  
#94 - Northern Rough-winged Swallows
#95 - Blue-winged Teals
#96 - Common Loon
#97 - Bufflehead

My sister and I checked out a field that gets flooded in Bloomsburg, PA, and spotted, #98, Lesser Yellowlegs  


This morning I went back to Landingville and it was the best morning yet! I only had one new species, #99, Bank Swallow, but I also got a lot of great photos:

(Most of these have multiple photos, so you can scroll through them if you click on the links)

Wood Ducks!   I finally got some photos of Wood Ducks! They can be really shy and quiet, so I often flush them without even realizing they were right next to me. Not today, though!

Even though the temperatures are still not typical for Spring (mid 40s today! Yikes!), the Spring birds don't seem to mind!
