 Alder Flycatcher. Alder Flycatchers are back, and that makes me happy. They’re not a striking bird to look at. Not particularly great singers. But by now I know and love them—along with the Great Crested Flycatchers we’ve had these years.
Of course a lot of other birds I love, as well.

 Scarlet Tanager. I can dig chasing down a Scarlet Tanager. I like sneaking along the understory, scanning the newly leafed-out crowns of of the hardwoods, hoping for just a glimpse of red. Well, today I got a look at at least two—and I’m wondering how I might prolong this thing.
Excited to find out what tomorrow brings.

 Yellow Warbler. Had a lovely hike this morning. Heard a Wood Thrush, watched a raven browse in the blueberries, spent a while following a drama involving yellow warblers. Three or four or five of these warblers were rushing about in a birch tree, engaging in a mad courtship and/or territorial battles.
A highlight of my walk with Jack—made for a truly interesting morning.
