John and I walked at Pony Pasture this morning. Lots of bird sound including
several Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Yellow-throated Warblers and our FOY
Prothonotary Warbler singing along the river.
Cardinals, wrens and chickadees were into territorial activities everywhere -
chasing, fussing, singing. The Virginia bluebells were in full bloom. The
spring mating activity wasn't limited to the birds - we saw a pair of creek
chubs on their gravel nest doing their thing.
We'll follow our leader and post the ebird link to our morning's bird list:

Nice morning.
