The last few days haven't produced any sightings of special interest at the marsh. The northern shovelers - and two wood ducks - were on the sewage lagoon yesterday. Today there were more bufflehead ducks flashing the white of their small bodies out on the marsh, among the ring-necked ducks and American wigeons. At least 25 green-winged teals have moved over to the little pond alongside the railbed, possibly finding the feeding easier, as the water level in the marsh proper is still quite high. However, this morning I did sight a few Yellow-rumped Warblers, including this one. The migrants that had been present at the marsh for several weeks appeared to have left earlier in the month, but in the last few days a few stragglers have reappeared.
