Ray Duffy reports:

"This AM I got my first of year Orchard Oriole when visiting the bird banding at Harrier Meadow.

"In the afternoon, I took twenty minutes around DeKorte around 2:30pm, I got my first of year semipalmated sandpipers on the exposed mud during low tide.

"At 6:45, I visited Mill Creek Marsh. I found 2 families of Mallard ducklings, one group of 8 and one group of about 4.

"Schmidt’s Woods had a Northern Waterthrush.  Other unfortunate arrivals for the year were ticks and mosquitoes."  (Thanks, Ray!)
