We had our first HB at our feeder today in Derry, and a Northern Parula stopped by for a dip in our small pond. Catbirds, orioles, and R-b Grosbeaks continue to visit the yard.
Also, received a Migration Alert from Cornell's BirdCast saying that tonight, May 5, would have a high number of birds migrating through the region (southern NH) at night.
Here's their recommendation for area residents:
"Help protect these nocturnally migrating birds as they pass through your region by turning off all non-essential lighting from 11:00PM tonight until 6:00AM tomorrow morning. Bright lights attract and disorient nocturnally migrating birds, potentially causing fatal collisions with buildings or exposure to additional day time hazards."
