Another good day for Kestrels on 4/10, continuing a
welcome rebound over last year, when through the month
of April only 360 had been tallied. Sharpie totals are
also up sharply (pun intended!) over this time last
year and Red-shoulders are doing well, but Turkey
Vultures and Red-tails are lagging.

Swallows are pouring by and Common Loons are heading
north in increasing numbers. New arrivals have included
Laughing Gulls and Caspian Terns. A Great Egret passed
by on 4/11 just as it started raining. A few
Red-throated Loons have also been seen.
