This morning, I birded the Hawthorn Orchard from about 7:45am to 8:30am. Again, it was quiet, as I think it will be the rest of the spring and summer, until fall migration begins.
I'll just note the likely (new) migrants (in caps) for today: 1 EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE (singing from the wooded area just West of the South rugby field, between the gravel path and the stream). 1 ALDER FLYCATCHER (probably same bird as yesterday, singing and calling from the SE corner of the Hawthorn Orchard) 1 Great Crested Flycatcher (singing/calling quite loudly from several tall trees in the entire Hawthorn Orchard, but mostly the North section). 1 WARBLING VIREO (singing low in vegetation near oak tree in SE section of Hawthorn Orchard; behaviorally it is likely to be different from the pair that is nesting South of that location) 1 flyover Bank Swallow 1 MAGNOLIA WARBLER (singing in SE section of Hawthorn Orchard) Good birding!
