Hi All,

I had a nice surprise this morning as I was working in my office. 
Through the open window came the bright slow slightly creaky robin-like 
song of a SUMMER TANAGER. The fourth over the last six years here at 
Chesapeake Landing. A Scarlet Tanager was also singing, seemingly in 
counterpoint to the scarcer bird. We also had the first appearance of 
Louisiana Waterthrush in the yard in over three weeks. The waterthrush 
has been giving its "click" calls in the ravine beyond our back yard, 
ever since it came in calling as it flew from the south, apparently 
coming from the next nearest stream four-tenths of a mile away.

Good birding,

Walter Ellison

Observing Nature is like unwrapping a big pile of presents every time
