American Robin Turdus migratorius

Rusty Blackbird Euphagus carolinus

-Sunny, but still cool, and breezy.

-First warbler of the year was a restless Palm Warbler near the entrance.

-Evelyn was thrilled to get her first ever Wood Duck – we had to work for it – constant scanning of the flooded woods.

-Several Rusty Blackbirds in those same woods, with a Brown-headed Cowbird heard nearby.

-Plentiful Tree Swallows were the only hirundines (Hirundines! Hirundines!)

-Bird of the day was on the way out – two Brown Thrashers, one showy, one not so much. Love a Brown Thrasher.

-Mourning Cloaks, Eastern Commas, and Cabbage Whites all out.

-32 species in 2.5 hours.
