Recap- St Marks

1/12/2016

Comments

 
We had a breezy  start to our trek into St Marks National Park on Sunday around 11:30.  We went in with great expectations and were not at all disappointed.  This beginning ended with our finding 94 species for the day!  13 species of ducks, 7 species of Herons, Egrets with the Immature Reddish Egret being a rarity. Gallinules, Soras with the Purple Gallinule being the rarity. 14 Shorebird species with a Wilson's Snipe included.  Vireos, Brown-headed Nuthatches.  Wrens, 6 species of Warbler including the Orange-crowned. and 4 sparrows with the Henslow's being the rarity. The Vermilion Flycatcher juvenile gave us many photo ops.  The list for this day is here on this eBird link
Monday and the breezy start we had experienced yesterday became downright cold..  No wind, but the temperature was 28 degrees!  The sunrise was spectacular, though. Nothing special except we did add the Clapper Rail species to the total thus far.  This list of 31 can be seen at this eBird link.
