Lots of sparrows in the upper garden this morning, after two days of rain. Here's a selection.

Another still day, more warblers!
Very bright but recalcitrant Wilson's Warbler
and close by this very late Northern Parula
I also found a Nashville Warbler and an American Redstart.
This is from yesterday actually. I believe that it's a Clay-colored Sparrow. And today a beautiful immature White-crowned Sparrow put in a brief appearance.
More later warblers - this Pine Warbler was singing.

First frost
Chilly morning, but not a big burst of sparrows. Still some warblers around though. I found a Black-throated Green Warbler and this bright Pine Warbler.
Reade pointed out a Wilson's Warbler (unusual), and found Common Yellowthroat and Nashville. There were a few sparrows -- lots of White-throated Sparrows --
What do you think?

Scramble!
Plenty of kiddy action at Nahanton Park on this beautiful cool sunny morning. Let's start with this juvenile Song Sparrow.
Up in Woodcock Meadow, this regal Eastern Kingbird was accompanied by a Warbling Vireo.
And there were at least four Common Yellowthroats....
A big surprise was this very early White-throated Sparrow.
I didn't get a photo of the Black-billed Cuckoo, high up near Duane's Lawn.

Spring migration continues!
Finally some sun!
This male Eastern Bluebird was singing lustily in the lower garden. Was it the same bird as the one hanging around a box in the upper garden earlier this morning?
Bald Eagle!
Juvenile Broad-winged Hawk, over the river.
The back of the upper garden was hopping. This female Chestnut-sided Warbler
was joined by a pair of Common Yellowthroats
and this Northern Parula.
