Hi all,
Late morning walk at KAG was somewhat slow, although a few FOS were seen. No sign of any Marsh Wrens and only Great Blues in the heron category. Egrets should be around by now. We had 9 species of warbler, none in any great number, as well as two species of vireo and of oriole. Very pleased to see our first of year SWAINSON'S THRUSHES and BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER. Still a few White-throats lingering along the River Trail. An odd pale domestic goose was harassing a couple of resident Canadas.
