First of the season for me, an Eastern Kingbird. The oriole came over and whistled at him, but he ignored it and wouldn't budge. Heard a Yellow-throated vireo and was trying to locate it in a group of busy goldfinches, and spotted a White-crowned Sparrow. Yard birds today: baltimore oriole e. starling blue jay (on nest) a. goldfinch c. yellowthroat gray catbird (pair) e. phoebe a. robin song sparrow r-w blackbird yellow warbler bobolink field sparrow a. crow chipping sparrow c. grackle (carrying food, a spider I think) wood thrush house sparrow warbling vireo (seen and heard, first of season) n. cardinal (pair) c. lilac, first flower turkey vulture red-tailed hawk downy woodpecker (male) b-c chickadee eastern kingbird yellow-throated vireo white-crowned sparrow Also seen in the past couple days: ruby-throated hummingbird rose-breasted grosbeak chimney swift yellow-rumped warbler rusty blackbird green heron Sean Artman Andover, OH ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
