This morning I walked the yard and old farm pond patch behind the house and found a YELLOW WARBLER, two YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs, a BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER and a CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER (new patch bird) in the hardwoods and willows along the pond. Calling beside them was a GREAT-CRESTED FLYCATCHER (also a new patch bird). Also great looks in the open underbrush of a singing WOOD THRUSH.
Just as I finished my walk, the sun broke through the dark clouds and the woods really seemed to come alive!
