While countryside is by far the best environment for birding, one thing I don’t experience in my rural area is the relative tameness exhibited by inner-city wildlife. The perimeter of Rattray was lined with scores of herons – Great Blues, Black-crowned Night Herons and Great Egrets, all going about their business without paying the human visitors much heed. It’s quite a change from the shy GBHs I’m used to.
The reported Eastern Willet showed well when I first arrived, but eventually moved to the back part of the island where it could not be seen. Killdeer, Yellowlegs, Semipalmated Plovers and Pectoral Sandpipers kept me occupied after its disappearance.
