Walked around Frohring Meadows this morning, but there wasn't much activity in the marshy bit or on the muddy flats...where I found just one little sandpiper, and one C. Snipe, along with the usual killdeer and mallards. But, the nearby wood edge held a colourful array of singing birds. A baltimore oriole, male, was already working on his remarkable sack nest. A first of the season indigo bunting male was singing from the top of the trees nearby, joined by a rose breasted grosbeak. Also two eastern kingbirds, and a few yellow warblers. In the fields, bobolinks, an e. meadowlark and lots of savannah sparrows. Stopped at the park property on Country Lane where wood thrush were singing, and I saw a a yellow rumped warbler, and a first lincoln's sparrow. Also a brown creeper and what seemed to be a pair of juncos.
