Yesterday morning I got a chance to bird on Middle Bass Island. In addition to the usuals Nashville Warbler Warbling Vireo Yellow Warbler Yellow-rumped Warbler Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers Wood Ducks On South Bass Island yesterday, Elizabeth Heineman reported her first rose-breasted grosbeak of the season and Susan Harrington her first oriole. This morning (Saturday) I went out in my vineyard on South Bass and leaned down to pull something and a sora rail popped up out of the short grass! What a surprise!
