Mariton: Upper Bucks Birding

Mariton Birders on their weekly field trip.

The Mariton Birders had a great outing in Upper Bucks County.  As expected, we saw lots of Yellow Warblers and Warbling Vireos.

The Warbling Vireo’s song is meandering and loud.

The Prairie Warbler has a distinctive song that seems to make people smile when they hear it.

Another great singer is the Common Yellowthroat.

We counted over 51 species of birds for the morning.  We saw both Baltimore Orioles and Orchard Orioles.  We saw Bald Eagles, Ospreys and a Sharp-shinned Hawk.  We got great looks at Pileated Woodpeckers. It was a great morning.
