This evening at 7 PM I heard a VEERY singing just above the Long Branch Nature
Center building. Over several years we have seemed to have a possible breeding
pair in the vicinity. Great to hear one again.
And this morning, after no hearing or seeing since my LOS many days ago, I
heard a White-throated Sparrow singing and a call possibly from at least one
other one, coming from my backyard by a favorite brushpile and water spot at
6:15 AM. Yet, based on my observations and those of several other birders who
emailed me, I am going to stick with my conjecture that I had one or two local
bands that showed considerable site fidelity over the winter and left together
by Friday May 2; so then today's would be transients moving through on their
way north.
