Where in the h is spring? Another typical cold overcast dreary day
off. Lake Park looks like it did mid winter. The trees are barely
starting to bud, no flowers, mud - just ugly.
There were a couple of firsts but all in all very slow. I had 3 FOY
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers near the feeders buy the wooden bridge. 1 FOY
Palm Warbler along with 15 or so Yellow-rumps scattered throughout the
park. I had the first Red-breasted Nuthatch I've seen for a while at
the suet by the Walcott Statue. Sparrows included White-throated, 1
FOY White-crowned, many many American Tree and a few Chipping Sparrows
were singing around the golf course and Lake Drive. I had both
Kinglets but many more GCs than RCs. Absent were any thrushes,
flickers, sapsuckers and wrens. I saw 1 male Eastern Bluebird and all
the normal residents. Lastly to the Juncos which number into the high
double digits - please go north!! I don't really keep records but
they sure seem late I guess like spring does.
No photos as they would have looked like black and whites today.
