This morning I participated in a tour of Fernald Preserve. While hiking the
loop, I had a few spring migrant highlights including a singing BROWN
THRASHER, a couple of BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS, several CHIPPING SPARROWS and
a few singing YELLOW-THROATED WARBLERS.

I stopped by Spring Grove cemetery afterwards and had more GNATCATCHERS,
several CHSP and 3 YTWA all in the same bush.  Another highlight was an FOY
lonesome NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW. This continues to be a very
reliable spot for finding SAPSUCKERS as well.

Complete lists below. Good Birding.
