Regular yard birds this week have included Bob Whites for the last five days, and a pair of Least Terns for most of the week. A Yellow Warbler has been present each morning. This evening (4/30) a female Hummingbird visited the feeder - previous visits during the week had always been by the male Hummer. A Greater Yellowlegs has shown up several times along Leeds Creek in front of our house. On Sunday, during a 3-hour gentle canoe trip in Tuckahoe State Park, 40 bird species were seen or heard. Highlights included Parula Warblers, Yellow Warblers, Ovenbirds, Prothonotory Warblers, Scarlet and Summer Tanagers, Eastern Kingbird, Great Crested Flycatcher, and some singing Rusty Blackbirds. The canoe route followed the boundary between Caroline and Queen Anne's Counties.
