Blue-winged Teal at Lake HerrickFollowing heavy rain yesterday, I ventured out to Lake Herrick, where I was pleased to spot this fem/imm Blue-winged Teal among the Mallards - a new county bird for me. Lake Herrick is one of the largest accessible water bodies in the county, but has fairly high recreational use from joggers and dog-walkers. The teal flushed 4 times during my visit, so I don't imagine it will stick around for long...  A Spotted Sandpiper was present too, and the first I've seen here in a while.   Warblers were limited to 2 each of Palm and Magnolia. 11:56 AM - Tuesday, October 13, 2009 - post comment
