 Tree Swallow pair.
Had a first-of-year kingfisher today. Wouldn’t have noticed it flying over the hill had it not rattled out the species typical call. Not the first year I’ve seen them fly over. Maybe the third?
 Tree Swallow, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 24 April 2018.
Otherwise, quite a few species moving through. Plus, woodpeckers.
Mostly just swallows galore.

 Wild Turkeys.
Everywhere this morning I saw the signs—Song Sparrows singing loudly at each other, chases of goldfinches and crows and gulls, the drumming of downy and sapsucker, the puffing up of Wild Turkeys—of the biological imperative.
