Hi all.
A smattering of early spring migrants at Wheaton Regional Park today, as
well as increased activity from local breeders. The Common Loon,
probably well-fattened on hatchery trout, is gone from Pine Lake. A minor
influx of sparrows as well as FOY Blue-headed Vireos...
Some construction near the miniature train station will, per one of the
workers, be a couple of small stormwater ponds.
