On the way today to see my sister Kim in Suffolk, VA, I stopped at the Mariner’s Museum in Newport News to walk around the lake. The walk was good, and dry, compared to many places in the area which are closed or have limited access due to accumulations of ground water.
It was a bonanza hour and a half for birdwatching as far as I am concerned. I saw the following:
- Double-breasted Cormorants
- Hooded Mergansers, breeding and non-breeding males
- Ring-necked Ducks, breeding males
- Yearling Red-tailed Hawk (I think)
- Canadian Geese
- Red Breasted Woodpeckers
- Eastern Bluebirds
- Great Blue Herons
- Mallards
