Cold start 28 degrees, hazy sunrise. Surprised to hear Field Sparrow singing, early, not really I observer one here on April 2 last year. Just do not hear them sing until late April. Still large flocks of Robins in the fields, I look over them all but no Meadow Lark as of yet. A walk out to pond netted Sapsuckers and Kinglets and on the very small opening of water a pair of Wood ducks. No White-Throated Sparrow but I am still looking. > Location: Lot 210 Danby Pond- Danby, VT > Observation date: 3/28/10 7:15 am > Number of species: 30 > > Canada Goose 12 > Wood Duck 2 - pair on Danby pond- still 95 % ice covered > Mallard 2 > Killdeer 2 - Still tending the nest scrape in my driveway, third year > American Woodcock 1- Full moon is on the 30th, rain? it should be a > good show > Mourning Dove 5 > Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 2- two on deed spruce in bog > Downy Woodpecker 5 > Hairy Woodpecker 2 > Blue Jay 8 > American Crow 2 > Tree Swallow 1- cold looking and still all by itself > Black-capped Chickadee 4 > Tufted Titmouse 2 > White-breasted Nuthatch 1 > Golden-crowned Kinglet 2 - both males with oranage/red central stripe > in yellow crown > Eastern Bluebird 2 > American Robin 60 > European Starling 7 > American Tree Sparrow 6 > Field Sparrow 1- cold, all fluffed up but did not stop it from singing. > Feeding along edge of drive. > Song Sparrow 5 > Dark-eyed Junco (Slate-colored) 12- seems to be an increase in numbers > right now > Northern Cardinal 2 > Red-winged Blackbird 12 > Common Grackle 14 > Brown-headed Cowbird 28- big flow all together with several Starlings > mixed in > House Finch 6 > American Goldfinch 4 > House Sparrow 2 > > This report was generated automatically by eBird v2(http://ebird.org/vt) >
