Thompson Beach Rd - early June

I went to Thompson Beach Rd in Cumberland County to check the bird activity after work one day. Once there I saw many Marsh Wrens flitting to and fro and enjoyed their singing. It was fun to see their nests build into the bushes at the side of the marsh. I also saw several Osprey nests with female Osprey sitting on nests and the males off getting meals for them. There were also Clapper Rails that were heard but not seen and many Barn Swallows flying about and nesting under the overlook structure. Pictured Marsh Wrens and nest plus an Osprey on nest.
