Since May is usually great for Heislerville for shore birds I thought I would take a drive to Matts Landing, East Point Lighthouse and Thompson Beach Rd. First stop were the impoundments at the end of Matts Landing. I'd have to say I was really disappointed because both of the impoundments had few birds. Down to East Point Lighthouse where I saw another Tri-colored Heron along with some shorebirds off in a distance, I did see a beautiful sailing ship off in the distance.
Down to Thompson's Beach Rd where there are 2 fairly close Osprey nests so good looks at those birds. There were also a number of Osprey flying overhead with both fish and branches for the nest building. I heard and saw good munbers of Marsh Wrens, several Clapper Rails, many Barn and Tree Swallows, Eastern Kingbirds (pictured below) and the trusty Red-winged Blackbirds.
