After days embedded in the Presque Isle scrub brush, finally saw the first Blue-gray Gnatcatcher of the season! This was by the main park road along Misery Bay, by the east-end Sidewalk Trail trailhead. What a pretty bird!
Spring migration is in full swing. Recent sightings previously reported include Palm Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, and Black-and-white Warbler.
Also Hermit Thrush, Eastern Wood-Pewee, and, if you can believe it, what may have been American Bittern (!)
Other recent, confirmed sightings include Barn Swallow, and, of note, Northern Rough-winged Swallow.
Finally, confirmed sightings recently, for the first time this season, of the BirdingPI.com unofficial mascot, the beautiful Yellow Warbler! Pictures to follow.
Wishing everyone a nice weekend! Spend some time in nature – it’s nice.
