The outing to Forsythe was blessed by magnificent weather and a nice variety of bird life. Egrets and Herons were particularly abundant with Great Egrets and Snowy Egrets in large numbers. On our first stop we saw numerous immature Black-crowned Night-Herons as well as what looked to be a sub-adult (2nd\/3rd year bird) sitting in trees across a marsh as well as in flight. A few Glossy Ibis were seen in flight as well as feeding. Shorebirds were scarce but we did see Greater Yellowlegs, Semi-palmated Sandpipers and a few Black-bellied Plovers. A really entertaining sight was a Clapper Rail dashing out of the reeds several times to take a \u201cbath\u201d and then scooting back to cover. Laughing Gulls and Forster\u2019s Terns in there winter plumage were also abundant. Three Caspian Terns with their bright orange bills were also a nice pick up. As is usual we ended our trip with a nice lunch at Shea\u2019s where we went over the list. We saw 40 species overall.<\/p>
