We stared our fall season of Tuesday Nature Walks today at Heckscher State Park. The temperature was getting warmer as the day progressed. The first attempt at birding was thwarted by a a horde of mosquitoes. As we moved out of the wind into the wetter area the mosquitoes were fierce. We regrouped at the water front where there was a breeze and were much more comfortable.
We saw several lingering Ospreys, a few Eastern Kingbirds, some Mockingbirds and a Downy Woodpecker. There was a Killdeer on the road median and a Spotted Sandpiper at the bayside watre edge.
A nice start to our fall season. Come join us.
