Sunday Shots, 09/21/25

I birded the black dirt and 6 1/2 Station Road Sanctuary this morning. I didn’t have any targets in mind, I just wanted to see what was happening. It was a birdy and enjoyable outing; notably I had my first fall American Pipits of the season, a dozen or so lingering American Golden-plovers, and an impressively large flock of Tree Swallows. Savannah Sparrows were also quite numerous. At 6 1/2 Station Road, conditions continue to be less than optimal, with high water levels and no birds of note. I was hoping for another look at the Sora, but I was unable to relocate it. Here is a handful of shots from the morning.
