There were seven Ospreys soaring above the agriculture field - landing on the dirt a few moments and then taking off again. I have never seen Ospreys acting like this before in any bird species. I wonder what they doing? There is are two Osprey nests nearby, presumably this was a family from one of them.
They were constantly calling. I really enjoy their call which is a short whistle "chee chee chee". There was also one perched in a bare tree off in the distance.
In the field also were Killdeers and lots of Semipalmated Plover. I have never seen Semipalmated Plovers flocking in a corn field before, but apparentley they do! Out on the bay there were 2 Common Terns.
On the way back I noticed that another Osprey had joined the first on the bare tree.
Other highlights included: Yellow Warblers (heard), Great-crested Flycatcher (heard), Barn Swallows and a large feeding flock of cormarants.
