Good rainy Monday from Montgomery County! After a humid and hot couple of days around Clarksville we'd have to say that the birds of the weekend were BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS and NORTHERN PARULAS. They were everywhere singing their heart and souls out. No matter where we went...there they were. LOL Also on Saturday we had our FOY/FOS RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD at our feeders. He was spotted on Sunday morning...3 days earlier than last year. I spotted another two this morning hanging out under the eaves of the house as the rain was pounding down. Welcome back spring time birds!! And lastly...check out this sighting in Grand Island, Nebraska. http://www.omaha.com/article/20110409/NEWS01/704099833?sms_ssúcebook&at_xtMa23b4a22aab825%2C0#hooded-crane-a-first-in-neb Ya, just never know what will show up where!!
