A few comments......I ended up with 9 FOY (First of Year) birds
yesterday at the Seabrook Forest. I generally don't get the earliest of
FOY records over the years along the Seacoast as compared to others from
further inland, but a few early birds seemed interesting. Especially
considering the cool weather we've had recently.
* 9 species of warblers! But no Yellow-rumped Warbler!
* American Redstart is my 2nd earliest ever with my earliest being
4/30/16 at Pawtuckaway. My previous 2nd earliest was 5/6/10.
* Magnolia Warbler ties for my 2nd earliest ever with my earliest being
4/28/09 in Rye.
* 5 Ovenbirds and 5 Black-and-White Warblers seems like a high count for
the date.
* STILL LOOKING for our first Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Baltimore Oriole,
Eastern Kingbird, Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Full checklist:
