Crazy Blustery and Brisk Days

A very cold day yesterday (April 27) feeling like -9c, light flurries and a strong NW wind.  It was hard walking against the strong wind finding birds low for protection.  It was really nice to see a Yellow Warbler.  I've also seen a Yellow-rumped Warbler.  I was watching a Turkey Vulture flying low trying to control itself in the wind.  Tree Swallows were low over the water flying against the wind as if they were flying still.  I also saw Killdeers, Red-winged Blackbirds, lots of American Robins on the ground and Northern Flickers.

Song Sparrow

Today (April 28), was a cool 6c but sunny which was nice!  I decided to go to the Coves.  I didn't see any Warblers but I saw FOY Catbirds and FOY Spotted Sandpiper.  The Blue-winged Teals are still hanging around.  I also saw 3 Great Blue Herons, Song Sparrows, Barn Swallows, Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Downy Woodpeckers, Northern Flickers, American Goldfinches, White-throated Sparrow, Northern Cardinals, and a White-breasted Nuthatch.
