Some interesting newly arrived or newly active birds in the yard this morning:
Seen and heard:
Eastern Towhees
Ruby-crowned Kinglets
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers (drumming, working on a cavity, and defending it from
Red-bellies)
White-throated Sparrows
Dark-eyed Juncos
Purple Finches
Red-bellied W
Enjoyed watching a male yellow-bellied sapsucker work his way around some
trees in our back woodlot in Danby this morning. A huge raven flew
southwest over the creek while a couple cowbirds perched nearby and a
white-breasted nuthatch picked its way head-first down a snag.

Then, later, as I was searching on high for the singing foy-yard Scarlet

a foy-yard Black-billed Cuckoo ‘coo-coo-ed’ from opposite end of yard!

West Danby enjoyed a bright sunrise. There was hardly a cloud in the sky for a
short period this morning. I had Fox Sparrows singing from all directions, a

Hi Alll,
This morning I was visited by two quite special, to me, yard birds. First a
Brown Creeper appeared in a the tree near my feeders. it stayed in the yard for
about 10 minutes. An hour or so later a Carolina Wren showed up. It only
stayed for a minute or so and didn't visit the suet feed
Have had some interesting birds at our feeders recently. We've had a
CHIPPING SPARROW every day since Thursday. Yesterday a first-winter
male ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK stopped by briefly. This morning there was
a juvenile male RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD feeding on the ground with the
other birds. It
I made the most of being grounded today. When I went outside for gardening
instructions, the first thing I heard was a vague warbler song from the mature
spruce tree in the neighbors' yard. Forty-five minutes of procrastination
yielded one second of view of a new bird for the cumulative yard lis
This morning I've got multiple CAPE MAY and BAY-BREASTED WARBLERS (both sexes)
in my spruces on Tupper Road (West Danby). Hard to count, but maybe 10-12
individuals between them. Tennessee Warblers continue too.

Today I had three "first of the year" birds at or under my feeders - an Eastern
Towee (1st ever in my yard too!), a Chipping Sparrow at a tray feeder, and a
Field Sparrow (which I saw at the end of the day hanging out with the Towee).
Is April Fools Day somehow trying to mess with my mind??

On my morning walk along the westernmost edge of the L-P Preserve, which is

Our Indigo Bunting population jumped to 4 yesterday, with all of them, 3
males and a single female all at the feeders at one time late yesterday
afternoon. Along with the Purple Finches, R-b Grosbeaks and Goldfinches it
was quite the show! Our first Orioles showed up yesterday as well

For the second morning in a row there has been an Indigo Bunting at our
feeders here on South Rd. Other feeder birds include White-crowned
Sparrows, at least 2 pairs of Purple Finches, and 3 pairs of Rose-breasted

Reviewing records for my yard I realized that in early years I'd been lax about including dates, that this year I'd made far too little effort there, and that there were some good candidates missing altogether. So late yesterday morning I spent some quality time in my yard. Not only did I add RUBY-

I looked out the window at my feeders at about 2:15 to find a Sharp-shinned
Hawk sitting on one of our platform feeders about 6 feet from the window.
It sat for almost 30 seconds then noticed my movement and flew up into the
nearby cedar when I tried to move to a different window. Very cool view!
While I did not notice any geese going overhead last weekend here in
Caroline Center last weekend (though I was outside very little) I did have
flocks of Snow Geese go over several times today, as well as a Raven
circling in a northerly direction, though it is certainly possible that was

Beautiful pair of Bluebirds in my back garden right now.
Which is a treat as I rarely see them due to preponderance of House
Sparrows.

My neighborhood 'rain crows' - both Black-billed and Yellow-billed
Cuckoos - have really been living up to their nickname! Along with
all the rain, hailstones have rattled the roof for several days
running. And they're likely to do it again today, if the Cuckoos are
to be believed. It's am
My warbler list looks about the same as a couple of days ago, but
there are certainly more TENNESSEE WARBLERS in the mix now! I met

their white tail spots and gave warning notes from their skulking
places in the low underg

Just before sunset I added a MAGNOLIA WARBLER. Hoping for more

Wow. I was hoping that with all the activity in nearby Sapsucker Woods, I would

numerous Ruby-crowned Kinglets, one Blue-headed Vireo, one Black and

I have had some fun new yard birds this week.
About a half an hour ago, I heard a Louisianna Waterthrush in the creek across
the road. I believe I heard it a few days ago as well, but was able to hear it
better and confirm it this morning.
There has also been a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker drumm
