Thanks to Linda Ewing who relayed the message to Toni when she stopped me by the Long Meadow transverse road, I found the EASTERN BLUEBIRD female where it was spotted originally. Linda told me later she had spotted it perched on the half torn BBQ sign. I didn't see it there but in a nearby Oak tree's low branches by a thick tree cut trunk on the Meadow. An EASTERN PHOEBE followed it around.This area is east of the picnic tables by the manor. The Monday drabs was alleviated by a terrific bird.
Meanwhile at the back view of the Upper Pool , there's a PINE WARBLER.Toni spotted that and when I re found that PINE , Linda happened to be there and drew my attention to a PALM WARBLER. After Linda left , Toni came by and I got the PALM for her to see, a lifer for her. And adding suspense, GOLDEN CROWNED KINGLET appeared above us, a cool looking bird with the yellow cap and nice eyeliner, a delight to see this early spring smallish bird in our parts.
WOOD DUCK continues to dominate the Upper Pool. But with my all out attention on the warblers and Kinglet, I wasn't paying much attention to the ducks , figuring about 11 all told there.
