This morning I had 6 pine siskins on the niger socks. Plenty of white throats
still around.
Early yesterday the sun was shining and it was beautiful so I decided to bird
around Concord for a little while. Forty-five minutes later, as I was leaving
the house, it was dark and raindrops were in evidence. I checked several
streams where I have had Louisiana waterthrushes in the past but no luck. I
was able to see and hear a prairie warbler and common yellowthroats were
singing everywhere I stopped. Large flocks of goldfinches inhabited trees in
the same areas. I drove to an area where I have usually found white eyed
vireos and didn't even have to get out of the car because one was singing right
beside the road. By this time, the wind and rain had reached such a point
that I decided to call it a day and drove home.
