Today at the Buckner Memorial Preserve 2 Prairie Warblers.  

Follow Tim's Trail to the kiosk and the small pond beyond.  Below the pond are two elm-like saplings.  One bird was seen and heard there in full song.
Continue along the trail to where it forks, follow the north branch for a short distance and a second Prairie Warbler was heard singing from there in the brushy habitat.
Also observed at Bruckner, a single Baltimore Oriole, 2 Louisiana Waterthrush, a singing Carolina Wren, 2 singing Field Sparrows, 2 singing Yellow Warbler and a very vocal Brown Thrasher.
At Ward Marsh WMA a Great-crested Flycatcher and at Ghost Hollow Road toward the Poultney River, a singing Yellow-throated Vireo.
In west Haven along main Street a singing Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

In general Swallows seemed in short supply, almost absent!

Observed the birth of a Black Angus calf while checking on Brown-headed Cowbirds!

A great day but dry and very dusty!

Cheers, Roy Pilcher.
