May 9, 2009 - New Arrivals & 1st Juveniles of the Year

Two new arrivals:  one field sparrow and a common yellow-throated warbler.  The field sparrow was ground feeding along with the other sparrows, so I almost did not notice him.  I heard the common yellow-throated warbler while walking my dog.

I visited my neighbor's pond at 7AM this morning to see if the canadian geese were there.  When I arrived, there were about 12 adults and 12 goslings.  The goslings were in two groups: 5 in one and 7 in the other.  Each group was flanked by 2 adults.  They did not let me get very close, but I was able to get some shots - see birds / juveniles 2009.
