[CT Birds] red-breasted nuthatches still here in Mystic

[Carol Ansel]

Saw a pair of red-breasted nuthatches on my feeder in Mystic today  
(4/16), and white-throated sparrows continue as well - when do they  
head north?

Also set eyes on my chipping sparrow; think I heard it a few days  
ago, but now that I've been tipped off about the "3 trillers" maybe  
I'm not so sure? (Did get a positive ID on a trilling junco).  Any  
hints about how to differentiate those 3? (junco, chipping sparrow  
and pine warbler)

3 American kestrels off of North Main St. in Stonington yesterday -  
one doing a great display of the into-the-wind hover.
