Hello there!
I'm a new birder (2-months and the obsession still hasn't worn off!!)
Took a great walk to the edge of marshlands just below my new home. Wonderful!! There's a huge section of wetlands which border Cheesequake State Park. The stream which flows through the wetlands empties into the bay here at the shore of the Atlantic. I often see large egrets/herons from a distance, but as of yet, have no way of getting near enough to ID. However, from my vantage point, I can see many:
Red-wing blackbirds
mockingbirds
Gray Catbirds
Goldfinches
(Carolina?) Chickadees
1 Northern Flicker (yellow underwings)
Mourning Doves
Tree Swallows
Red-tailed Hawks (?)
tons of unidentifiable thingies...
That is the beauty and the frustration of being a new birder. So many IDs and still so many more to plow through! I can't wait!!!
Thanks for being a part of this community.
