!4 Birders were excited this morning to see for many of us including me, the Snail Kite. We were not disappointed. This one gave us quite a show and many photo ops. Started out cool, but warmed with the rising sun and birds were everywhere. Common Yellowthroats were in abundance as were Yellow-rumped Warblers. Parulas, White-eyed Vireos, Yellow-throated Warbler were some of the few. Then it was Purple Gallinules, 2 Soras, 2 American Bitterns. Black-bellied Whistling and Mottled Ducks, Blue-winged Teal, Black-necked Stilts, Least and Spotted Sandpipers. Swamp and Savannah Sparrows. Carolina & Marsh Wren. Photo by Fred Hileman
