Day 14.218: Birds at the marsh - mostly unidentified

Here are some of the birds we spotted at Scarborough Marsh on Saturday evening:

1) Probably a greater yellowlegs

2) Another yellowlegs (either greater or lesser)

3) Two small sandpipers (possibly least sandpipers)

4) Another sandpiper with non-yellow legs

5) An American goldfinch

6 & 7) A possibly immature sparrow (swamp or song perhaps)

8) There were several large flocks of egrets that flew from time to time before landing in unison. This is a group of (at least mostly) snowy egrets (yellow feet), and one glossy ibis

9) A great egret

10) Several glossy ibises

11) Some ducks in the golden-hour glow

12) No idea what these were - several flew overhead

13) A great blue heron

14) More small waders

15) A gull

16) Two cormorants practicing their passerine impression

A good bird-sighting day, an OK bird-photography day and a fairly poor bird-identification day.
