Ambling around Salisbury and Leicester today Ron Payne and I found 
numerous first-of-year birds, and some nice discoveries.

While searching the flooded fields east of Otter Creek in Salisbury for 
shorebirds we watched for over half an hour a Sandhill Crane busy with 
preening, stretching, and calling.  At times during preening it would 
rub its feathers with a bill-full of wet grasses, perhaps for the mud.  
It then took off and flew north in the direction of Bristol Pond, 15 
miles to the north.  Of course, we have no idea where it ended up going.

East of the Creek Road covered bridge and 2000 feet to the north there 
were three Glossy Ibises foraging.

Shorebirds were limited to Snipe, Killdeer, Spotted Sandpiper, Solitary 
Sandpiper, and Lesser Yellowlegs.

Five American Pipits foraged in wet mud and watery furrows of a plowed 
field right in front of us for much of the time we were viewing from 
Creek Road.

At the electric transmission power lines that cross Cram Road a first 
Prairie Warbler was in song, wearing the most brilliant, resplendent 
clothes.
