Nature Done Wright

Rob sez:

Yellow Warbler has arrived back at the farm–with a singing male present at BH Pond in the AM and again in the early PM. Good #'s of RC Kinglets as well as a handful of Breeding plumaged Yellow-rumped Warblers and Palms.

The female BW Teal and 4 Snipe flushed as I walked the partially flooded (but passable with good boots) NN Culvert area.

 Fred Weber also reports a Parula, Thrasher, and singing House Wren. The birds are coming!  (Thanks, Rob!)
