A handsome Lincoln's Sparrow singing his full song from a walnut twig
in our front yard in western Lewis County today (5/02/07) was a
treat. For those who are unfamiliar with it, their song reminds me
of a House Wren that took music lessons. Other songbird migrants are
present, but the numbers of some seem low still. Many boreal nesters
are in especially short supply: Tennessee, Magnolia, Blackpoll
Warblers are only trickling through, and I have yet to see a
Nashville Warbler or Philadelphia Vireo at all. I'm hoping that they
are not really missing but just take a look down at dawn, see our
brown forests, and decide to keep flying in search of better
habitat. There are finally more signs of forest recovery (second
spring, as it were...): Oaks are breaking new buds and showing fresh
green, and lightning bugs have reappeared for the first time since
the freeze.
