I led a bird walk out at Greenway farms on Saturday (April 2). There is a
low-lying area that has a lot of water in it from recent heavy rains, and
when we checked it out there were 8 Blue-winged Teal. We also heard the
first Black-throated-green Warblers of the season out there.

 

On Sunday (April 3), I did a banding demonstration for the ornithology class
from Southern Adventist University and we saw Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and a
Barn Swallow, both FOS for out there. Several of the teal were still
present. The big catch of the day (literally and figuratively) was a
Red-shouldered Hawk, the second one I have caught out there and so far the
only raptor of any kind I have caught at Greenway Farms.

 

Today (April 4), I was doing my regular Greenway Farms banding and I heard
my first White-eyed Vireo of the season. There were no teal.
