Despite a rainy start to the day, when the clouds broke, the birds started to show. We had several nice surprises this morning including a fly-by of a Great Egret, a Red-bellied Woodpecker which visited the park a couple of times, and our first Catbird, Bunting and Oriole of the spring. Sparrows were almost entirely absent today.
