Howdee all,
Yes believe it or not…amongst all the chatting..we managed to see a few birds on Plum Island…I saw more than I photographed….I still have a hard time with moving objects..but there were a few nice birds that stuck around for a photo or two.
Purple Martins
A Song Sparrow sang for us…
and saw they were stripping the grains from the grass.
Some of us thought they glued the bird there…It let us all get very close…and sang its heart out..
Let me sing for you…
listen to all of us chatter in the background!
We saw Semi-palmated and White rumped sandpipers
And many more birds…
Thank you our fearless leader Christopher for taking care of us and making sure we saw some birds!
Jeff added two life birds….Solitary sandpiper and Least Bittern
I added one.. Least Bittern- thanks to Lauras keen hearing, and Bev's quick sighting of a flying bird!

great pics Dawn. I never did get the flycatcher in focus :)
ReplyDeleteOooh- I love the Savannah Sparrow video.
ReplyDeleteI see the Purple Martins know how to put duct tape to good use!
OK Dawn, glad you actually got to see and photo some birds. Nice captures. Hope there's more coming.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are great--especially the Savannah Sparrow.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs. Such a fun time.
ReplyDeleteWow! Great photos, but my favorite is your video of the Savannah Sparrow singing. I don't know why but I LOVE that song. Your video was so clear and the sound good. You're so lucky all of you were able to get together and bird. Great job putting the trip together!

ReplyDeleteVery nice...looks like you all had a great time. Nothing like birders having a good time :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful post, Dawn. What a fun gathering both of bloggers and birds. Love the Savannah Sparrow singing and the gorgeous images of the geese in the fields of grass and wildflowers. Special.
ReplyDeleteHow nice! Wonderful birds sights sounds birders ... just a whole flock of great things. And the voice on that Savannah Sparrow is lovely.
ReplyDeleteNice videos Dawn! I never saw the Bobolink but you couldn't miss the RWBB. Really wanted to get some shots of the Geese in the field but being in the back we weren't seeing a lot until it was too late. Plus the dust was kind of thick ; )
ReplyDeleteWhat a great birding trip Dawn. I saw several that would have been life birds for me!
ReplyDeleteHey what fun! I'm posting my Savanna Sparrow Saturday with a back link to here so folks can get a look at your videos. That little Savanna Sparrow so cool.
