This is a little delayed, but is an interesting comparison to today. Best bird yesterday was a softly singing and scolding, brightly-colored, male PHILADELPHIA VIREO in the very Northeast corner of the Hawthorn Orchard. Jay McGowan and Livia Santana were already observing it as I was walking toward the source of the softly singing Red-eyed Vireo sound-alike, suspecting Philly Vireo.
It is fairly common to have general daily turnover of migrants at the Hawthorn Orchard, especially with low food resources there. Now that the Tortricidae larvae have hatched, there may be more birds arriving and staying for longer durations…I hope. Tuesday, there was only one hawthorn tree that I observed with flowers open on the crown…compared to most of the crowns open today. Good birding!
