There was no sight or sound of a Yellow-breasted Chat or Marsh Wrens, so perhaps both have moved on. There is water in pond 2 and a bit in pond 3--the rest are dry. At the west end of pond 2 I saw a male WOOD DUCK, which is possibly a new bird for Block 3090. Similarly, an adult COMMON MOORHEN was in one of the overflow ponds beside the creek and looks to be new for the block. However, there was no other breeding evidence for either species. I then visited the Ogier Avenue ponds, walking only around the southern ponds. Of potential interest was a single GREEN HERON, three adult WOOD DUCKS plus six downy young with a skittish female along the creek at the entrance of the largest pond, two COMMON MERGANSERS flying low along the creek, and an alternate SPOTTED SANDPIPER. Singing MARSH WRENS were in the cattails, as Mike Mammoser found earlier in the year. A flock of 14 TRICOLORED BLACKBIRDS flew by, but did not appear to be using the southern ponds as they have in the past.
