Nice warm morning and the trails are finally drying up a bit. Heard at least 2 Yellow-throated Warblers singing back & forth high in some tall pine trees. Could not spot them. One Wild Turkey called while I was trying to find the YT Warblers.

Heard one House Wren singing by Swallow Field where I also heard a BG Gnatcatcher.

Only other warbler was a LA Waterthrush singing and setting an altitude record—spotted it about 7 feet up a small tree singing away then kept going until it was about 10 feet up, still singing & bobbing its tail.

WPs: Hairy, Downy, Red-bellied, Pileated & Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (male)

Sparrows: White-throated, Song, Field, Chipping plus towhees.

Bluebirds & Tree Swallows, E Phoebe. Golden-crowned Kinglet but no RCKs. Wood Duck in flight.

At least one Black Vulture in a group of TVs. Red-shouldered Hawk being mobbed by crows. In the photos I took of the RS Hawk I saw with prey the other day, it looks like it wasn’t a mouse but a black shrew.

The Spring Beauties are putting on quite a show and some of the many Mayapples are already budding.

I’m still seeing juncos on the bike path near my house.
