Migrants are beginning to move into our "backyard" wilderness. What a thrill to once again be seeing our wood warblers. Sightings include: Tuesday, April 22 - Pine warbler (a new bird for our yard list); Nashville and palm warblers Thursday, April 24 - Chimney swifts, great crested flycatcher, blue-headed and red-eyed vireos; several black-throated green warblers, a waterthrush (didn't get a good enough look for a positive ID). Other birds of interest that have been present for some time include a pair of wood ducks on the creek, great horned owls, blue-gray gnatcatchers, phoebes, and yellow-rumped warblers. We put up our hummingbird feeder last Sunday, but we're still waiting.
