Final Hoorah: Montezuma Day 2 Part 2

After Tschache Pool I headed once again back to view the Red-headed Woodpeckers at their nest cavity.  They were quite aggressive toward the other birds in the area including the dreaded European Starlings (hooray) and this nice Downy Woodpecker keeping to itself, tending to his own nest.  Win some lose some, but I guess for the Red-heads it's lose all.

Later back at Knox-Marsellus but this time on Towpath Rd, I again "Saw the Sora" which was in the exact same place when I last left.  Also continuing was the Virginia Rail in the same stretch of cattails.  104 Caspian Terns were roosting on the flats whereas yesterday yielded a mere 82.
























My trip was definitely a success getting 5/8 of the target species.  After hours and hours of searching, the Wilson's Phalarope I so desperately wanted to see was MIA but little did I know my wait wouldn't be very long. 

Finally after getting home I was able to listen to better recordings of Sedge Wren calls and this is exactly what I heard! Sedge Wren, make that 6/8 and another lifer!  What a way to end the trip.  Listen to the Sedge Wren call: http://macaulaylibrary.org/audio/112673/cistothorus-platensis-sedge-wren-united-states-massachusetts-curtis-marantz
