Lots of cars cruising through Forsythe/Brig's today, guess the sunny weather brought people out.

It was sunny, 40's, breezy. I was out @ Forsythe from 1:15pm til 6:15pm.

My 1st bird of the outing was before I even entered Forsythe. I always stop @ the little 'bridge' on Great Creek Rd. right before Forsythe entrance. Perched in a dead tree was this osprey. See the link below for a slideshow of Osprey photos.

I did see a SEO way out in the East Pool, found it while scanning w/ binoc's & this was around 3:30pm. I saw several N. Harriers over the East Pool, NW Pool, NE marshes & the open field across from Jen's Trail. Also saw a group of 8-10 E. Bluebirds along Gull Pond Rd. A list of the species seen is @ the end of this post.
