Hi Everyone, I went for a walk with my daughter around the pond by Pittsburgh Ave - spring has finally arrived here also -saw a pair of Baltimore Orioles, pair of Eastern Kingbirds, good amount of Goldfinches and Catbirds. Most numerous migrant seemed to be Warbling Vireos. There were several Ospreys fishing - at one point a Crow and an Eastern Kingbird were taking turns chasing one away. A Mute Swan was aggressive to a pair of Canada Geese - a moment later a Red-winged Blackbird divebombed the Mute Swan.
