That would be Louisiana Waterthrush and Brown Thrasher.

Did a morning loop from Quail John onto Stevens Rd. (then onto Rt 5). Thetford.

There is a gladed swale, sweet brook running through it. Perfect for the way-cool and elusive LoWa.

They have a liquid and lovely song. Hard to find. On down the road which is Stevens.

2 Am. Kestrels an power lines.

Onto flats past the triangle (Rabbit Rd ). BrTh was singing in its scruffy habitat, perched high on an apple tree.

Got the scope on it.

1 Eastern Meadowlark singing away on ag hay fields. Not hard to find as the grass is so short.

Bunch of Savannah Sparrows around the weedy patches by the equipment. Lots of singing.

Another Kestrel at the farm corner of Rt 5.

Kendall Station: Rough-winged Swallows (3), Tree ~ 6, Barn ~ 4.

Be Kingfisher, Flicker, Sapsucker, 3 Yellow-r. Warblers, 1 Pine.

Home: 40 De Juncos, 2 White-thr Sp, and 3 Songs. 2 chipping too.

Pine Warbler still stops by for my peanut-mix suet.

April is warm-up for May.
