Decent morning with several departures offset by new arrivals..
Nice surprise from Yellow-billed Cuckoo calling from neighbor's yard before
moving east across the swamp.
A flash of white wings through the trees might have been a Great Egret -
we've had them occasionally in the swamp.
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks gone, after several on Friday. Towhee & Kingbirds
missing.
One lonely White-throated Sparrow moving quickly and trilling loudly, as if
looking for his friends. Our usual big over-winter flock nowhere to be
seen. They were here on Friday, but have moved on.
Easter Wood-pewee and Willow Flycatcher arrived in the Spectacle Brook
Swamp.
Warblers: Yellow, Yellowthroat, Black & White, Nashville, Redstart,
Black-throated Green and a stunning Blackburnian in full sun-lit glory. No
sign of Chestnut-sided and Bay-breasted seen on Friday.
Nesting Phoebes, Titmice, House Wrens, Catbirds
And happily, I saw a chipmunk under the feeder - first of the spring.
