Decided to see what was in the wetland area on Trolley Bed Road. Last year I saw a green heron there but so far not this year and fall was approaching. And then again, I have learned to know anything can happen. So off I went.
When I got there, I quickly saw the 'resident' great blue heron and then started to look around the edges for anything else that might be hunting in the pond. After looking for a few minutes, I finally saw a Green Heron walking near the edge before it flew off to a more secluded spot in the pond.
So besides the two herons I saw: 30+ starlings, male and female ruby-throated hummingbirds, 6 goldfinches, 3 blue jays, 3 crows, 3 mallards, male red-winged blackbird, a flicker, a female downy woodpecker, and a turkey vulture.
DATA: 3:30-3:55 pm; 79F; overcast with some sun; breezy
Later on that day while at home working on school work, I looked out the window at the feeder and saw a Purple Finch eating at the feeder.
DATA: 5:48pm; 75F; clear; slight wind
