Took a ride to DGAP today hoping to hear Prothonotary's but none heard...yet. 
Blue-grey Gnatcatchers and Yellow-throated warblers were dominating the canopy.


Had a great surprise to spot 2 Blue-winged Teal that seemed to buddy up with a 
male Wood Duck. Many Canada Geese on nests and stacks of turtles enjoyed the 
sun. Most of the ducks have moved on. 

I did get a quick look at a Pied-billed Grebe as I was tracking the Teal. 
Chester was spared severe weather. There were some incredible clouds and some 
impressive wind.


New arrivals will be coming every day. Still plenty of White-throats and Juncos 
in our yard.


Enjoy the spring,
