Birding at Bombay Hook NWR: Featuring an American Avocet (10/24/20)

Birding at Bombay Hook NWR: Featuring an American Avocet (10/24/20)

I identified 32 species of birds in these five areas—Visitor’s Center, Raymond Pool, Shearness Pool and Marsh, Bear Swamp Pool, and Boardwalk Trail. In the Raymond and Shearness pools were short-billed dowitchers, northern pintails, northern shovelers, American wigeons, black-bellied plovers, dunlins, and pied-billed grebes, among others. In Bear Swamp Pool, I saw two immature black-crowned night herons, green-winged teal, and American avocets.
