I'm pleased to report that the FOS European Starlings did not make an
appearance at my home on Simerly Creek Road in Hampton until Saturday, April 26.
This is a little later than normal. European Starling is strictly a summer
nesting bird (so far) at my home. They do not stick around for the winter.
Of course, they arrived just in time to be included on the Spring Bird Count by
the Herndon Chapter of TOS. I am sure four additional starlings will make a big
difference for?the total of this?bird on the chapter's count.
A more welcome (but still surprising) arrival was the FOS Indigo Bunting, also
on Saturday, April 26. The surprise? The first arrival was a female Indigo
Bunting. I cannot recall ever seeing a female Indigo Bunting prior to the
arrival of some males at my feeders.
