Blue Grosbeak, a Prospect rarity.
Gray Catbird and White-throated Sparrow.
Solitary Sandpiper.
Star of the show was a Prothonotary Warbler. We saw lots of these "Golden Swamp Warblers" in Louisiana last year, but they're rare up here, and always an auspicious sign for Spring.
Please enjoy Spring responsibly.
