Good morning! I just spent a very enjoyable 2 hours birding around our 5 acres, mostly on the front 1/2 acre. Lots of activity today with a constant parade of new birds showing up. The most impressive for me was a mixed group of GOLDEN CROWNED and RUBY CROWNED KINGLETS. I reported 5 and 4 of each, respectively, but I think that is an underestimate. They stayed around feeding low in white pines for at least 1/2 hour. The warblers kind of trickled through which kept it very interesting. First of the year birds included the two WINTER WRENS and the SWAINSON'S THRUSH.
Nice morning! My ebird list is below.
