Hi everyone,

I just had a female golden-winged warbler in my backyard for about an hour. She was very active working the catkins on a red oak tree. I thought I would be lucky to see one this spring, never thinking one would show up at more doorstep in Boerum Hill. I'll post pictures later today.

Other backyard birds included:

Glossy Ibis (8 - flyover) Blue-winged warbler Magnolia warbler Black & White Warblers (2) Blackburnian Warbler Baltimore Oriole Rose-breasted Grosbeak Red-eyed Vireo White-throated Sparrows (several) House Finches (several) House Sparrows (several) Mourning Doves (several) American Crow (3) Northern Cardinals (several) Rock Pigeons (feral)

Good birding!
