BLACK SWAMP BIRD OBSERVATORY

**Metzger Marsh Morning Flight Count Update – 5/21/2025** The east winds had one more day in store for us today, shutting down migration for much of the morning again. There was an interesting eastbound flight of Common Terns in the first couple of hours, and once the wind died down a few passerines including a Cape May Warbler began to fly over. In the marsh, the continuing local Common Loon and Yellow-headed Blackbird made brief appearances along with some Black-necked Stilts flying around.
