It's getting late now, almost May and yet not much migratory activity on land. Only three species that I saw today that are new for this year was a Greater yellowlegs, a Nashville warbler and a House wren. I couldn't manage to get a lock on the warbler, so no photo. Ran into another Eastern towhee (male), or maybe I should clarify that the towhee almost ran into me, coming closer and closer, as if we knew each other. Also saw a couple of Hermit thrush again. One was perched in the sun with a large tree trunk behind it that was not in the sun, thus creating a dark backdrop for the perched thrush. I couldn't resist that. Someone on the trail got an excellent shot of a Winter wren perched on a stump located just off the path. She showed it to me thinking that it was a Hose wren. I edified her about the bird's true identity and she tried to argue with me. Imagine that. I advise her to examine the blunt (stubby) tail. Silence. Oh! I guess you're right. I love being right ... wish it would happen more often.
