So everyone is texting, emailing, and calling to say that I am crazy (so what's
new?) ... no migrants other than on my farm ...
I have been out working on a fence all morning and I have to say that after an
initial rush of song around 730 to 900, the birds really quieted down. However,
there *are* lots of birds. Where I have been seeing a few Savannah Sparrows
lately there are probably more than a dozen; a short stretch of open fence that
has had nothing but local bluebirds lately first had two and now has four
Eastern Kingbirds. Other new birds include lots more Palms and Myrtles than
have been around, and a Summer Tanager and a couple of Red-eyed Vireos.
On the nesting front, I inadvertently kicked a Wild Turkey off 13 eggs day
before yesterday, a female Wood Duck appeared on the pond a couple of days ago
with 12 ducklings, and the Killdeer are keeping watchful eyes on four
youngsters that are working the shoreline.
