Hi all --
A bit slower than expected, considering the improved weather -- early on,
before it got sunny, several warbler flocks moving fast and low in the
undergrowth. Numbers were good for many species but diversity lower
than hoped...
We did the Park down to the lake, and then a bit around Brookside Nature
Center.
Birds of interest:
Pied-billed Grebe - 1
Great Blue Heron - 1 imm.
Green Heron - 1 (late?)
Red-shouldered Hawk - 2
Cooper's Hawk - 2
Chimney Swift -- ~ 8
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - 1 (looked like classic R-T)
Eastern Wood-pewee - 1 (late)
Eastern Phoebe - 8

Red-eyed Vireo - 3
House Wren - 5

Still good numbers of Catbirds about, also several flocks of Blue Jays
passing by overhead.
