Breeders, Shorebirds, Pelicans - State Park

"...The walk at the state park produced both breeding birds and some migrants. The usually reliable Orchard Orioles were difficult to find today although one was singing close by, Indigo Buntings are still reliable and a few shore birds were found at the Plover Ponds, including a Piping Plover with chicks and several migrant Short-billed Dowitchers, Least Sandpipers, and both Yellowlegs. Brown-headed Cowbirds were everywhere."
