On May 5th A Male and Female Bluebird were spotted in one of the open fields just south of the Parking lot at the Visitors Centre of Wye Marsh. They are not a common site around the centre and there are nesting boxes located in this area and we are hoping the Bluebirds take up residency so please do not approach the boxes and please try to use binoculars and spot them from a distance. I saw these birds last year in the same area, but they did not nest as the boxes were inhabited by mostly house wrens.
Also, I spotted my first Eastern Kingbird at Wye Marsh this year along the board walk trail.
