 Savannah Sparrow (on the roof of Beech Nut). This morning I saw a Savannah Sparrow on the sod roof of Beech Nut, collecting grub for nestlings. I’d already noticed they were not singing—I imagine the nestings are why.
 Great Crested Flycatcher. Later, back home, I heard the loud Wheep! of a Great Crested Flycatcher. Even got a glimpse of the sometimes-hard-to-spot bird.

 Eastern Phoebe. This warm morning
I happened to see
a little female Ruby-throated Hummingbird
zip up to the iris patch
out my kitchen window
and hover a while.
Not long after,
on the way to our morning hike,
Jack and I both caught site of a young deer
—a yearling, looked like—
bounding gracefully
over hedgerows and across fields
right along side of us,
keeping pace for a couple hundred yards.
Fun for us both.
Then we saw a turkey.
Nature’s little gifts.

 American Redstart. As Jack and I descended Beech Hill today, I heard a faint squeak, looked up, and watched as four very young Short-tailed Weasels furtively crossed the trail in front of us. That makes three days this spring I’ve seen weasels on the preserve. I don’t believe I’ve come across them there at all before.
 American Robin (fledgling). Came across a fledgling robin waiting for a meal. Got pretty close before it took flight with a distinctively robin-like alarm note.
The Wood Thrush still sings, meantime, yet still I have no photo. And nearby sang a young male redstart. Loudly, Persistently.
