Walked out our long driveway early this afternoon to pick up the mail in mailbox on the street here in Washington, CT. Heard a Carolina Wren, which has troubles in these parts because of harsh Winters. I suspect with climate change Carolina Wrens will be having an easier time here. Also heard an Eastern Towhee.

Pileated Woodpecker pair is busy excavating nest hole in snag in our front

robin and male cardinal show interest in holly just outside living room

A couple hours in the rain were quite enjoyable. A pristine adult Lesser
Black-backed Gull in full alternate was in the Nature Center parking lot,
and then later across from the Swan Pond. Two recently arriving herons, an
adult Little Blue Heron and the hybrid Little Blue X Tricolored were at the
tiny pond across from the Swan Pond and at the Boulder Pond, sheltering in
the vegetation, respectively. Also had a Black-bellied Plover and a flock
of about 5 Savannah Sparrows.

We seem to have a bumper-crop of pileateds in our Chester neighborhood,
too. We'd always have at least one trolling around each season, but now
we have a pair nesting somewhere nearby and another rival/pair across
Route 148. The drummer of our pair has discovered one particular tree in
our side woods that lets out a truly resonant sound - it's there a few
times a day, dueling with the other drummer.

Westport-Longshore Club Park- (Hendricks Point/Instructional Golf Area)-
Early this morning I drove through Longshore Club Park and had a flock of at least 24 Golden-crowned Kinglets at the north end along the Saugatuck River. It appeared that they were migrants touching down to feed and rest. They settled into a small group of Hemlock bushes which were loaded with swarms of insects and remained there the entire time of my visit. I searched through them looking for other species but only had the kinglets.There were robin flocks flying over constantly as well. I suspect the southwest wind brought a few other migrants overnight also.
For those waiting for Bonaparte™s Gulls to arrive, I looked at my eBird reports of the past 8 years. Bonaparte™s Gulls show up the end of March and the first week of April in numbers. 2012 and 2014 produced high numbers. The last 4 years were not that good. We should see them over the weekend and next week. I had one Little Gull last year on 4/11.But getting to a beach to find and see them won™t be easy, Southport Beach is closed!

I saw two small groups of Tree Swallows and a couple more checking nest boxes at Hammonasset State Park around 1:30 PM today. Also found a single Eastern Phoebe and a total of 5 Golden-crowned Kinglets on Willard™s Island.
A fair amount of people in the park, but almost all were following ˜distancing™ rules.

Had a couple of Tree Swallows checking out one of nest boxes in the field below the house here early this afternoon. Also heard an Eastern Phoebe not far from the house but could find it to see it.
