Late this afternoon about 4:30 I walked down in the woods behind our house on Mount Pleasant Road. I heard an *Ovenbird* sing its "teacher-teacher-teacher" at least 4 times but could not find it. *Ruby-crowned Kinglets* seemed to be everywhere and singing. I got nice looks at a *Black-throated Green *warbler and with my best imitation of the song, it finally sang a few times. I came across 5-6*Yellow-rumped Warblers*. They were sallying out and catching insects, moving through the treetops. I also saw my first *Blue-grey Gnatcatcher*, and two *Chipping Sparrows*. Other birds I saw or heard: *Ruffed Grouse**** **Eastern Towhee** Mallard pair on the pond **White-throated Sparrow** **Chickadees ** Tufted Titmouse **Juncos ** **RWBB** **Robins** **Blue Jay** **Hairy Woodpecker** **Yellow-bellied Sapsucker** **Northern Flicker* *Am. Goldfinch* *Wood Duck pair *( this morning - flew over the treetops near our pond.)
Yesterday, 4/30, I had a *Brown Thrasher *singing in a tree at the edge of the back yard. Happy May 1st!
