Lingering chill

Common Yellowthroat, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 24 May 2014.

Common Yellowthroat.

Overcast again this early morning. Chilly. Not windy, though.

Heard and/or saw a bunch of birds but seemingly fewer migrants. Leaves are out all over the place, too, which makes for fewer photos. I did, however, manage a video of a singing Black-throated Blue Warbler somehow—an achievement that truly excited me.

I also got an audio recording of the curiously syncopated drumming of a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.

Bird Report is a (sometimes intermittent) record of the birds I encounter while hiking, see while driving, or spy outside my window. —Brian Willson
