Ed, I wonder just how early the Pine Warblers returned this year to the park. Lynda and I didn't see or hear one on March 5th, when we looked for them there. We had that one here at the house on the 6th. It's probably fair to assume that they were in the park shortly after that. Anyone else care to venture an opinion?

It gave me a good show from a limb above my head as he sang. I did not hear any other migrants but they can't be too far away now. I'm expecting BH Vireo, B&W Warblers, BT-Green Warblers and Yellow-throated Warblers to show up in the next 2-3 weeks. Michelle and I heard Spring Peepers last night while driving back from Hurley - we had heard Wood Frogs for a couple weeks now but this was our first Peepers. The Forsythia in our yard is in full bloom, the Lilac is showing some green leaves, and the Japonica has started to bloom. Spring must be here.
