It seems to me that the big spring migration wave has been more like a trickle so far. I got my share of exercise searching through Guida's Nature preserve this morning. It's a nice mix of open fields, edge habitat, and woodland trails-lots of trails. I was wandering around all over the place wondering if I covered every field and trail. In the end I found just 2 new species for the year, Magnolia Warbler and Ovenbird.
I wish that I could get a picture of all the new birds to see but some are high up in the trees bouncing around and others like this one are just plain camera shy and that can be a bitter pill to swallow!
Fortunately, there are others like this female Eastern Towhee that are too busy building nests to worry about who's watching!

I had no idea that there were so many species of warblers out there. I was amazed that I found just one this past week!
I'm still enjoying just watching the ones that I can find near the farm.
