February 10 - Townsend's Warbler

Today we went out southwest to Trenton to visit it's Sewage Treatment Plant.  I'm not kidding !
Attracted to the continually flowing water and the insects that thrive here all winter long was a western vagrant in the form of Townsend's Warbler.
This is my first east coast sighting of this species, and it is quite the beauty:


Afterward we went to Assunpink Wildlife Management Area to see the pair of Trumpeter Swans.
On our way back home we spotted a large flock of over 5,000 Snow Geese.  We scanned the flock for a bit and Andy was able to locate a Ross' Goose within the flock.
