Yesterday and today I've been out looking for early arriving Cerulean
Warblers (I realize it is unlikely to find them this early, but I'm
expecting they arrive on the breeding grounds earlier than other locations).

Below is my list from this morning at Edgar Evans.
Highlights from 3/30 and 3/31 birding the environs around the north side of
Center Hill Lake (totals combined) were:
19 Loons and one Horned Grebe together
1 Sharp-shinned Hawk
1 Broad-winged Hawk
3 Whip-poor-wills 
5 Hermit Thrush
8 Blue-headed Vireo
1 Tree Swallow
8 Barn Swallows
4 Roughed-winged Swallow
4 Blue-gray Gnatcatchers
27 Northern Parula 
2 Black-and-white Warbler
10 Yellow-throated Warbler
1 Black-throated Green
