Waterfowl influx, county ticks and sunshineThis morning dawned bright and sunny at Lake Herrick after yesterday's gloom. The resident 6 Mallard at Lake Herrick were joined by 4 Ruddy Duck and a female Ring-necked Duck. Three Coots were also a site tick.  My first county American Pipit flew over calling as I was photographing this showy Yellow Palm Warbler.   I also county-ticked 2 Horned Larks in the recently-mown fields adjoining the botanical garden. Yesterday I was surprised to see a late Black-throated Green Warbler in the backyard. It arrived during an activity burst which also brought in this Blue-headed Vireo and the male Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.   I was lucky to see this Red Fox in a friend's garden adjoining the Birchmore Trail.
