Finally, the first two warblers of the spring migration showed up in
my yard.
This morning a N.Waterthrush spent an hour at the edge of the pond,
energetically
foraging under the wet leaf litter. This evening a Palm Warbler
showed up in the
shrubs, joining a lone Ruby Crowned Kinglet.
Where are the rest? No yellow warblers, no yellow rumps, no pines.......
I checked the 12 bluebird boxes yesterday and was surprised to find
three with completed bluebird nests, and one with an egg. They have
been mobbed by
tree swallows and I wasn't sure the bluebirds were holding on under
the onslaught,
but, more resourceful and tenacious than I realized.
