Following up on Doug Futuyma's report we did a drive-through at Epcal
late this afternoon and can report that both the Eastern Meadowlarks and
American Kestrels are present in approximately the same numbers. Also
seen were one or two Turkey Vultures and a trio of Eastern Bluebirds.
The highlight came during a walk in Veteran's Memorial Park, which
adjoins Epcal on the west. Here we encountered some very early arrivals:
a pair of Northern Parulas loosely associated with a feeding party of
Chickadees and Downy Woodpecker in the Pitch Pines.
