Birding at Assawoman State Wildlife Area: Featuring a Blue-Winged Teal (2/12/22)

In the field by the entrance parking lot, we saw eastern bluebirds, several of which were landing on top of the bluebird boxes. Other birds seen here included yellow-rumped warbler, chipping sparrow, and Carolina chickadee. Next, we went to Sassafras Landing but it was very quiet. All we identified there were mute swan, bald eagle, turkey vulture, and Canada goose. The gate to Strawberry Landing was closed. We could have walked there but it was about ¾ mile to the landing so we decided to move on. We stopped at the observation tower along Mulberry Landing Road. Birds we saw there included mute swan, gadwall, American wigeon, pied-billed grebe and hooded merganser. We finished up at Mulberry Landing. Some of the birds we saw there included blue-winged teal (4), bufflehead, gadwall, hooded merganser, American wigeon, Canada goose, ring-necked duck, mute swan, green-winged teal, American black duck, and great blue heron.
