Several Alder Flycatchers were newly evident in Michigan Hollow today. Least Flycatchers have been singing for a few days in traditional breeding spots there. Likewise Canada Warblers and a Winter Wren. A Northern Waterthrush was still singing from the same swamp woods near the beagle club as on May 12th. Under the bridge at Diane's Crossing is a Phoebe's nest with five eggs, as I easily determined, because the nest is directly beneath a half-inch wide expansion joint between two deck boards. My 6 year-old granddaughter got a thrill out of that, and later she laughed at the funny sound made by a Virginia Rail.
