[AHoodedWarbler@xxxxxxx]

A woodland walk on Sunday, May 22, yielded comfirmation that at least a couple 
of Red-breasted Nuthatches are still present. 

In addition, I got good looks at an Acadian Flycatcher (and heard a second one) 
as well as heard the loud calls of at least one Great Crested Flycatcher. 
Warblers present included Hooded, Black-throated Green, Ovenbird, 
Black-and-white and Worm-eating.

Nesting birds are very visible. The Brown Thrasher pair is feeding young. The 
Eastern Bluebirds fledged five young this past week. Another nest box contains 
six Carolina Chickadees that look ready to fledge. Tree Swallows have occupied 
a box, but I can't see into their nest. In addition, two eggs have appeared in 
the House Wren box. 

Three species of swallows ? Tree, Barn and Northern Rough-winged ? visit the 
site on the side of the gravel driveway where I have been leaving egg shells.

This morning, Monday, May 23, I had a Green Heron visit the fish pond.
