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.
