First, Barn Swallows at LBJ High School have laid eggs. The pair at my
house has shown greater interest in the nest, adding mud and routinely
perching on it. Also, I still hear Bewick's Wrens singing in the more
developed parts of my neighborhood.
I returned to Dottie-Jordan Park this morning. Due to the drizzle, I walked
without binoculars but didn't really need them. I got confused by a
"robin-like song" early on, it seemed in between Red-eyed Vireo and Summer
Tanager. A brilliant male Indigo Bunting was briefly in the open by the
creek. Carolina Wrens were engaged in lively chase. The Chimney Swifts were
fun to watch and deafening as they circled. Towards the end, a Solitary
Sandpiper flew by me in the creek and landed a few feet away.
