I never like to miss a day of bird searching during migration. Despite strong winds and chilly temperature, I headed to Ashbridge’s Bay to have a look and was rewarded with my first sightings this spring of three species.
Rough-winged Swallow:
Ruby-crowned Kinglet:
Yellow-rumped Warbler:

Hi Miles,
The first Manhattan balcony Redtail hatchling is here. So exciting! 😊
NATURE POETRY
Too wonderful the April night,
Too faintly sweet the first May flowers,
The stars too gloriously bright,
For me to spend the evening hours,
When fields are fresh and streams are leaping,
Wearied, exhausted, dully sleeping. – Claude McKay (1889–1948)
Miles Hearn
