Nippersink Marsh & Rollins Savannah (Late Report) Sunday 7-6-25

[Al Stokie]

Hello Bird People,

Computer went down last night but its back today so here is my report
for Sunday

Nippersink Marsh (7:30-9 a.m.)

Went here looking for the Willets seen on Saturday but didn't find
them even with the help of such ace birders as Beau S & Suzy & Graham
D. Guess I used up all my luck on Saturday with the Black Necked
Stilts & the Wilson's Phalaropes.

Great Blue Heron (8) & Great Egret (2)
Canada Goose (15) & Mallard (2)
Killdeer (7), Spotted (3) & Least (3) Sandpipers
BALD EAGLE (1-AD) & Red Tailed Hawk (1)
Plus 14 landbird species of the usual suspects.

Rollins Savannah (north end observation area only) (9:30-10:30 a.m.)

D.C. Cormorant (1)
Great Blue Heron (1) & Great Egret (1)
Mallard (2-AD with 5 young ones)
RING NECKED DUCK (1 adult male, kind of a surprise!)
Caspian Tern (2 on the far away mudflat)
Plus 10 more common landbird species.

So 32 species for the day & Bird-Of-The-Day will be the lingering
adult male Ring Necked Duck
& Runner-Up will be the adult Bald Eagle.
