MDI this morning: R-n Ducks, B-t Blue Warbler, L-t Duck, a passel of Horned Grebe

[Craig Kesselheim]

Hi all -- Took a walk on the Blagden Preserve off the Indian Point Road on MDI, with friend Jim Perkins. Highlights included a single male Black-throated Blue Warbler (perfect plumage) in the forested southern section of the Big Woods Trail, one Long-tailed Duck in the bay, and an estimated 150 Horned Grebes in pairs, small groups and one very large distant raft.

En route to this preserve there was a small flotilla of Ring-necked Ducks in the northern end of Somes Pond (off Oak Hill Road).

Best,

Craig K

as a p.s., I changed my eBird report of yesterday's Trenton Great Corm to a D-c, preferring to err on the conservative side. Forgot to mention a Winter Wren at Seawall Campground as well.
