‘Quiet Place’ in NDG, April 20, 2024
-Getting springier and springier
-One Golden-crowned and two Ruby-crowned Kinglets
-Still no White-throated or Chipping Sparrows
-20 species in 90 minutes
-Best of the day was a bright and flitty Pine Warbler (Personal first warbler (wobbler) of the spring, personal first for the site)
-A pair of Mallards near some big puddles
-A pair of Downy Woodpeckers chasing each other around and vocalizing
-Still two pairs of Eastern Phoebe in two different areas…one pair was singing loud and aggressively, seemingly where the two territories would overlap
