Following is an eBird check list of the birds we saw, and the estimated numbers for each species. We observed 35 species in 2.5 hrs, which is very respectable. Note that some species were identified by call. Note that generalized bird groups, like peep sp. and gull sp. are NOT counted in the total species count.
Our primary birding location was the Boardwalk Trail. We also birded one location along the Broadkill Beach Rd. Highlights were 3 Bald Eagles (2 adults and 1 juvenile), 2 Northern Harriers, 30 American Black Ducks, 18 Northern Pintail, 9 Greater Yellowlegs, 25 Forster's Terns, 1 Great Egret, and 18 Yellow-rumped Warblers.
