Last Mon., 4/14, heard a Summer Tanager, first it's call, then song. Yesterday, 4/15,
heard what I thought sounded more like a Scarlet Tanager, but never called so not 100%
sure. Heard it again today, but am having a difficult time finding it in the foilage. Still
hearing the Summer, too.
Also yesterday, heard, then saw a Broad-winged Hawk over the house, saw one again
today. Also an Accipiter sp. flew low over where I was standing and swooped down at
the feeders, didn't catching anything, but heard a loud "whoosh" sound as it zoomed by.,
was pretty neat.
I noticed that the Bluejays, which usually mimic a Red-shouldered's call, have started
doing a Broad-winged's call just recently. It seems like they started around the time that
the Broad-wingeds showed up!
Lots of singing Ovenbirds and Hooded Warblers, no Wood Thrush yet.
