Field Ornithology 2021 - Day One: Waterbirds

Today on Monday May 24, 2021 I travelled to Colt State Park in Bristol, Rhode Island. I began birding around 7:30 in the morning, and wrapped up around 12:00 pm. In terms of the weather, the temperature was between 55˚ and 65˚ during this outing, it was sunny and only partly cloudy. I observed around 30 different species, and the wetland habitat provided me with great bird diversity! At Colt State Park, there is a beach area as well as wetland habitat, and as I walked through the park I saw a wide variety of songbirds mostly along the edges and in the trees, as well as many kinds waterbirds in and around the bodies of water. Since it is a park, there were also areas of mostly grass and trees where I was able to observe some species, but I mostly spent time walking along the ocean and wetland habitat. I only had this one site to visit today, so I spent the entire time here, making sure to walk a good distance around the park to see the most of the habitat.
