Greetings,
Residents, spring migrants, and lingering winter visitors were present
throughout the sanctuary this morning.
Lingering winter residents included a half-dozen White-throated Sparrows and a
flock of nearly two dozen Dark-eyed Juncos.
Spring migrants like Chipping Sparrows, Tree Swallows, and Hermit Thrush were
present in higher numbers than this time last week. Ruby-crowned Kinglet [5],
Black and White Warbler [4], Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warbler [1], Pine Warbler
[1], and Louisiana Waterthrush [1] were present and singing.
Interesting observations among the resident species included a pair of
Bluebirds adding nesting material to a nesting box, an American Robin observed
with nesting material in its beak, and a pair of copulating Black-capped
Chickadees.
