What a great time of year to be outdoors. I went to Prime Hook this morning to check out birds that have recently arrived there. I was happy to locate 3 singing Yellow-throated Warblers, and we will certainly try to see at least one on tomorrow's OLLI field trip. Other recent arrivals, both very vocal, were Chipping Sparrows, and Brown Thrashers. Additionally, the numbers of singing Pine Warblers and Field Sparrows has dramatically increased.
What I did not locate was an early Ovenbird, or Blue-gray Gnatcatcher .....maybe by tomorrow with it being 82 degrees today....... and I know you know (if you have been paying attention in class), they migrate at night, and tonight has all the earmarks of being a good migration night.

See you tomorrow.
