I've been enjoying White Throated Sparrow's song and watching them at
the feeder, lately feeling a litle sad because I knew the day was
coming soon I wouldn't hear them anymore. When they leave I'm down to
just pretty much zillions of House Sparrows, a couple Cardinals and Blue
Jays. Sitting outside yesterday I still had a couple.
This morning (3 May) I'm not hearing any.
I did a little birding of a local patch yesterday. Heard more than I saw
but I'm not good at voice ID. In addition to the acrobatic
Goldfinches, anxious looking Bluebirds, intense RWWB's etc. I saw 2 Palm
Warblers and 1 Yellow Warbler. Orchard Oriole. Several Vireo's of unk
type including one bird that I thought looked like a big baby Vireo. Is
that possible? 1 Greenback Heron. I watched a Pied bill Grebe
struggle with a fish too large for it to eat. On once side of the
marshy pond in all the willow sticks I saw 2 male Wood ducks with a
female. 45 min later on the other side I saw tiny 3 ducklings hard up
by the edge of the pond all by themselves, no adults anywhere. Usually
there are more and they are with a mother. Not sure what happened but
hope they connect with a female.
