Knowles Reserve Saltmarsh, Dartmouth, MA, USA, 09/09/2009

12pm. Weather: bright & sunny, warm.

Heading to town I asked Kim to pull over for a quick scan of the marsh.

Ring-Billed Gull - beachside.
Belted Kingfisher - perched on a prominent branch on the marsh, a large kingfisher soon identified from its striking appearance & size. It flew strongly to a couple of perching spots where it remained until I left.
Great Blue Heron, Great Egret - also on the marshes.
Mourning Dove
- on the overhead wires.
'Peep'
- flew quickly through, out to the shore, to quick to identify.
Turkey Vulture
, Osprey - both over.
