Salt Marsh Nature Center--West 10/3

The trees were dripping with Yellow-rumped Warblers today--by far the most numerous passerine I saw today. While watching about 10 of them jump across the path from tree to tree I spotted one bird that way too big to be a warbler--then saw the slightly hooked yellow bill and was happily amazed to see a Yellow-billed Cuckoo so well, so close, and so out in the open.  The other interesting bird today I flushed out of the reeds near the shore--I scared a Wilson's Snipe and it scared the hell out of me when it flew up practically in my face and zig-zagged across the inlet. Still not a lot of duck around yet. I getting antsy for birds on open water--I love warblers but trying to figure out what they are as they flit in the backs of the tree gets to be tiring.
