Warblers and vireos continue to trickle through the backyard (west
Knox Co) and Monday morning (5 May) I finally had the first CATBIRDs
and SWAINSON'S THRUSHes (about 10) in the yard this year. Another
seven-warbler day, can't seem to get over that hump this year. 22
warbler species plus "Audubon's" in the yard for the year so far.
Also, on the mammalian front, had a GRAY FOX this morning, a new mammal
for the yard which completes the canine trifecta (Coyote and Red Fox)
... or foursome if you count Canus domesticus.
