On November 18 we will meet at the Cape Henlopen State Park Nature Center at 9 am. From there we will bird the Park until about 11 am. Weather at this point looks good.
On our Nov 11 field trip to Indian River Inlet we collectively observed the following 24 species:
Common Loon
Northern Gannet
Double-crested Cormorant
Great Blue Heron
Turkey Vulture
American Black Duck
Scoter species
Bald Eagle (3 adults)
Ruddy Turnstone
Sanderling
Laughing Gull
Ring-billed Gull
Great Black-backed Gull
Royal Tern
Rock Pigeon
Fish Crow
Carolina Wren
American Robin
Northern Mockingbird
European Starling
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Song Sparrow
Boat-tailed Grackle
House Finch
Of local bird note, on Nov 13 we had an adult male Ruby-throated Hummingbird show up at our feeders. We had one over-winter last winter, and suspect this may be the same individual returning. Below is a picture of him taken on Nov 14.
