What a difference a day makes! Yesterday there were very few birds to be found
on the trail. Today we found a beautiful blue-winged warbler near the start of
the path. Both orchard and Baltimore orioles had returned as well as warbling
vireos. These three species build their nests along the trail. A green heron, a
male wood duck, and blue-winged teal were on or near the lake. Bluebirds,
gnatcatchers, and thrashers were busy feeding and singing as we moved through
the area.
The little pond behind St. Mary Academy off Chamberlin Lane yielded four
species
of shorebirds this morning - greater yellowlegs, spotted sandpiper,
semipalmated
plover, and, of course, killdeer. Meadowlarks, horned larks, savannah sparrows
are seen and heard in the fields surrounding the pond.
Very exciting time to be birding.
Happy days of spring,
