This morning was a bit crisp with cloudless skies and no wind.
My walk around the park showed that spring is truly underway. I found 27 species of birds. The first of season birds include Summer Tanager, Great-crested Flycatcher, Black-chinned Hummingbird and Nashville Warbler.
Sparrow species seem to have completely disappeared. I found only 2 Lincoln Sparrows.
I have not found those Wood Ducks since my first sighting but the Northern Cardinal nest remain active. This morning the female was sitting on the nest.
The resident Red-tailed Hawk and Belted Kingfishers were present and counted.
Bull Nettle is the prominent flower blooming.
