It's started to look and feel like spring at the Arboretum, with Woodthrush (1), Black and White Warbler (2), Palm Warbler (1), Northern Parula (2), Ovenbird (2), Yellow Rumps (several) and numerous Ruby-Crowned Kinglets, Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers and a couple of Brown Thrashers.
From the Arboretum, I headed over to Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, but it was closed for the day. From Kenilworth Park, I observed Greater Yellowlegs(5 or 6) and heard Common Yellowthroat and Northern Parula in the aquatic gardens marsh and saw overhead a Bald Eagle, Red-tailed Hawk, Chimney Swift, and, at the river, 3 Caspian Terns.
