A few highlights from a cold spring morning... I refound Chris's ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER briefly at the Etna Preserve off Rt, 366. I also heard an EASTERN KINGBIRD and a LEAST FLYCATCHER here. Still no shorebirds at George Road but lots of swallows this morning, including about 20 Bank Swallows and at least one CLIFF SWALLOW.
I didn't see much around Jetty Woods, Renwick and Stewart Park later in the morning (although the water levels in Renwick and Jetty Woods are very impressive! Wear boots.) I did have a surprising number of PALM WARBLERS around the swan pen, at least six individuals, all Western. I didn't see anything in the shallow ponds in the fields south of Hanshaw Road today, but yesterday there was a SOLITARY SANDPIPER and a LESSER YELLOWLEGS with a few Mallards in these wet areas.
