We must be getting close to the end of migration, and I’m complaining less than usual. I’ve been very conservative about where I’ve been going. It’s all local with the exception of the occasional trip across the bridge. The best nearby marshes are at CBEC and Terrapin. The best nearby lake is Artemesia, but I haven’t been going that far, as the reports are dismal.
The best birds have been at Greenbury Point and the pond at Jonas Green.
We’ll have swans and ducks soon, and I’ll be adding Thomas Point to the list.
