Good morning out.   All the mundane are about, birds like: phoebe, sapsuckers, flickers, song sparrows…ah, but we still love them !

Started at Houghton Hill “Zeeb” marsh (Thetford).   Am. Bittern was “galumping” away.  Virginia Rail was “tick-tick-ticking” not far from the car park along the road.

                Swamp Sparrows abound.  Hoodies and Woodies are in the “big pool” at far end of marsh.

Godfrey Rd had a lovely visual and singing Pine Warbler… such a gorgeous bird.  (audially not to be confused with a Junco).

No East. Meadowlarks on Stevens Rd.  No LoWa either.  Nice stream further along that road.    Did find Barn Swallow pair at a farm along the road.

Regulars at Kendall.  Water up at Pompy. 

Campbell Flats produced first Ruby-crowned Kinglet…..great song. Right by the beaver pond.

                Nice Savannah Sparrow singing along the road.  No Blue-headed Vireos (yet)

All’s well in paradise.
