Spring must be close. I saw my first Pine Warbler this morning flitting low among (what else?) the small pitch pines in the 2nd open area. I almost wrote "my first warbler," but of course, yellow-rumps have been common this winter and then there was the Yellow-breasted Chat at the NYPL.
On the lake this morning were 5 Ring-necked Ducks--3 drakes, 2 hens. Anthropomorphizing again, it looks like the lonely drake I've been seeing has found some friends, but, is he the fifth wheel?
18 species this morning. The counts are climbing.
