From: | [log in to unmask][log in to unmask], 16 Oct 2006 15:27:14 EDT629_US-ASCII Today I followed-up with the trash clean-up project from Saturday at Hoover Reservoir. I went back into Areas M & N which weren't covered Saturday. I got to combine birding with the clean-up. Shorebirds were somewhat slow this afternoon. On the mudflats and sand spits between Area N and the boardwalk at Area M there were 9 Greater Yellowlegs, 10 Dunlin, 3 Semipalmated Plovers and many Killdeer but nothing else. There were several Common Terns skirting about, 23 Great Blue Herons clustered about, Double-crested Cormorants on a far sand spit and an adult Bald Eagle perched off Wiese Road.

Today I checked out the Old Sunbury Road and Hoover Meadows sections of the
Hoover Nature Preserve. Linda and I began with Old Sunbury Road where we were
greeted by Golden-crowned and Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Both were present in
impressive numbers all along the old road. We also located Brown Creepers, many
Yellow-rumped Warblers, 3 Palm Warblers and several Winter Wrens. We checked
out the pine grove and located 2 Barred Owls and more kinglets. Further along
near Pelican Island there was still some mudflat exposed and we found 2
Long-billed Dowitchers, the only shorebirds for the day. In the cove near Pelican
Island there were many Horned Grebes and a few Pied-billed Grebes, 2 Lesser
Scaup, 2 Ring-necked Ducks, 6 Red-breasted Mergansers and 9 Wood Ducks.
Hoover Meadows proved to be the place for sparrows as we located 7 different
species. We also found a large group of Dark-eyed Juncos, a sign the season
is changing. In the brushy edge areas we located more Winter Wrens, an
Eastern Towhee and a late migrating Wilson’s Warbler.
