Eastern Wood-Pewee?-(1, an upslurred pyuhreeee call was heard well from the field/forest edge at the north side of NDN, but the bird was not seen. It wasn't a Killdeer. April 27 seems quite early for this species. Another explanation was that I heard someone in the empty woods blasting a snippet of playback for this species. Seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened...)

Swamp Sparrow-1 spotted near enough to Tuesday’s bird, but appears to be a different individual – it sang twice, and was in suitable swampy habitat...would be thrilling if it was trying to set up a territory...
