‘Quiet Place’ in NDG, April 14, 2024
-Great to see two pairs of Eastern Phoebe, which looked to be setting up territories. I saw the same behaviour this time last year with one pair, but they didn’t seem to end up nesting at the site.
-A chilly 9°C and windy, but there were some flying insects out.
-Several Northern Flickers and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers around (but no Hairy/Downy Woodpeckers in evidence).
-No kinglets or White-throated Sparrows yet, which seemed odd, but they’ve been seen elsewhere on the island, so they’re on the way.
-Song Sparrows and Dark-eyed Juncos were active and singing in most areas.
-I did my neck a mischief recently, which made looking up at tree birds a challenge.
-15 species in 90 minutes, in spite of missing a few basics.
-The last of the snow is gone.
