Canvasback, Horned Grebe at Lake Parsipanny; Birds at Troy Meadows and other Morris sites, March 31, 2012

A Canvasback and Horned Grebe were found by Jamie Glydon on this damp, chilly, misty morning at Lake Parsipanny. The Horned Grebe was in alternate plumage. The Greater Scaup found last Sunday was present with Buffleheads and Ruddy Ducks.

Troy Meadows (Troy Meadows Rd. off of Beverwyck Rd.) continues to have triple digit numbers of Rusty Blackbirds. Approximately 100 were at the edge of the marsh and Pin Oak woods as seen by Jamie Glydon and myself. 6 Palm Warblers, Brown Creepers, Hermit Thrush, Golden-crowned Kinglets and 25+ White-throated Sparrows kept company with the typical species of the area.

At Melanie Lane Pond in Hanover Township, Jamie Glydon had “conservatively” 65 Wilson’s Snipe, 20 Green-winged Teal, 3 Northern Shoveler and 1 Greater Yellowlegs.

A damp walk this morning from the Great Swamp Vistor’s Center to the Overlook near the Passaic bridge turned up 5 Palm Warblers, 3 Golden-crowned Kinglets, 3 singing Field Sparrows, a flock of 9 Wilson’s Snipe, and a Fish Crow.
