Chesapeake Audubon Society Field Trip Results
Trip Leader: Hugh Simmons
On November 8 we
visited Bombay Hook once again during the fall waterfowl season. For the first
time in many years we almost got rained out. Intermittent downpours had
us occaisionally running to our cars and
limited the amount of hiking we could do on the trails. I am sure it decreased
the passerine activity as well. But inspite of this
Bombay Hook did not dissapoint. We logged forty-three
species including: the requisite huge flocks of Snow Geese. Northern Pintail, Green-winged Teal,
a low flyover by a Bald Eagle, a number of Harriers including a
male "grey ghost", Black-bellied Plover,
Avocet, Marbled Godwit,
a Great Horned Owl perched in a
tree and an American Pipit.
Thanks to all who braved the weather
forecasts and came out for a successful day.
