Today was the first opportunity I've had in a week to take a lunch- time walk through Sheldon's Marsh. Many plants, including May apples, are coming up. Some of the "new" species might have been here for awhile. New birds included Eastern Phoebe, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, Great Egret, and Chipping Sparrow. The White-throated Sparrows and Dark-eyed Juncos are still around. Carolina Wrens, Tufted Titmice, cardinals, and robins are all singing "enthusiastically".
