Greater Yellowlegs @ Crosswinds Marsh - 30 Oct 2005
1400 Hrs. A walk through the marsh yielded little to start. Winds and slightly overcast skies made viewing difficult. I took a few flash photos of milkweed pods opening, but very few birds.
As I approached the Bald Eagle Trail as it heads back toward the parking lot I saw about a dozen American Robins, Eastern Bluebirds, Golden-crowned Kinglets, Tree Sparrows (first of year), Rusty Blackbirds, Song Sparrows, Northern Cardinals, and (4) Greater Yellowlegs near the pagoda. I was able to get some digiscoped images in the waning light.
