Sep 12 Prime Hook NWR Field Trip Report

Fantastic weather, good birds, but admittedly a lean morning for woodland migrants. Highlights were Yellow-throated and White-eyed Vireos, Solitary Sandpiper, Pileated Woodpecker seen well by most, 5 White Pelicans in flight, swimming, and then on the beach of a small island at Fowler's Beach. Also great side by side comparisons of Caspian and Royal Terns, about 50 Black Skimmers, adult and immature, and aggressive Bald Eagle activity on several occasions, much to the dismay of their targets, the smaller Osprey with a fish.

Our next trip is Oct 3 on the Cape Water Taxi, so be sure to sign up with Renee before Sept 19. If you have any questions, concerns, special needs, please feel free to contact me or Sally.
