Signs of seasonal progression
are all around at the State Park. The young Purple Martins have fledged and,
instead of peering from their martin houses as they were just last week, are
perched on all the bare limbs throughout the park. Male Mallards, last week
mostly green-headed, are now mostly brown-headed as they go through their
post-breeding molt into eclipse plumage. Many young Red-winged Blackbirds are
chipping and whistling along the trails, and the small white egret that foraged
along the edge of Bunker Pond turned out to be a young-of-the-year Little Blue
Heron, with a two-toned bill and greenish legs.
