I went on a birdwalk with about 20 members of the Sussex Bird Club. We walked along the north side of Gordon’s Pond Trail from the parking lot to between Benches 6 and 5. Some of the birds we identified included golden-crowned kinglet, merlin (perched high on a dead tree eating something), eastern bluebird, gray catbird, American robin, yellow-bellied sapsucker, yellow-rumped warbler, northern cardinal, herring gull (one had a crab in its mouth while flying), snowy egret, great egret, great blue heron, double-crested cormorant (large flocks), American black duck, ruddy duck, bufflehead, ruby-crowned kinglet, pied-billed grebe, greater yellowlegs, and belted kingfisher.
