New arrivals this morning (May 4) in my Palmer yard (Washington County) include:
Red-eyed Vireo
Dickcissel
Orchard Oriole
Also of note:
A dead rabbit in my yard served as a carrion feeder - a crow was eating it this morning!
The call of a Red-shouldered Hawk in my yard yesterday made me jump out of my seat yesterday to track it down. (Rare sighting here.) Merlin even picked it up. But of course, it was a Blue Jay. Very impressive bird vocalization.
Still no chimney swifts.
