I took a brief walk along the Neal Smith Trail south of Sycamore Access this afternoon, the highlight being a rather silent Yellow-throated Warbler (and my 109th Patch Bird for this location). The turnover here has been almost constant over the last couple weeks with birds both arriving and departing on a daily basis.
I also briefly scanned Errington Marsh before the wind and rain kicked me out, the highlight being 5 Great-tailed Grackles. Two pair of Gadwall were also pleasant as I (personally) haven't seen many this spring.
