A bit chilly and breezy but a beautiful day regardless. Black-and-white
Warblers seem to be almost everywhere, perhaps with many put down by the
north breeze.. A single Worm-eating Warbler was for sure a highlight as it
was singing it's "zipper-like" song. A few of the other expected warbler,
Black-throat Green, N. Parula etc. A single male Prothonotary was right on
time and singing well.
I flushed a hen Turkey off a nest from about 10' with 4 eggs which took
another hour or two off my time and found a Black Vulture on two eggs in an
old deer blind.
A pair of foxes have taken up on my place and I saw the vixen as I pulled
into the drive a bit ago...I have not seen the Bot Fly cottontail in
several days, maybe as a result. Still have singing Field Sparrows.
Listening to one as I type. Pine Siskins still here. Maybe they spent the
winter in Mexico this year as I and others were sure short on them over the
winter. The wildflowers are spectacular in places. Get outside.
