At Frohring, late this cold, windy afternoon, I saw well over a dozen savannah sparrows, hunkering down in the weedy edges of the marsh. Still c. snipe. Where did all the tree swallows go? Continuing home, I pulled over at the little marsh on Franklin to have another look at the n. shovelers and saw the first two n. rough winged swallows of the season. At home, putting out some seed again, I saw my first vireo, a blue headed, gleaning tiny caterpillars from the tops of the beech trees.
