Great to have 10 intrepid birders on our first Wednesday of the season despite the chill and strong winds. 

Just one warbler, a Palm, for the day, but a nice mix of sparrows on the lawns. A first of season Black-crowned Night Heron perched over the Long Pond, where up to two dozen roost later in the summer. 

On Pier 3 we heard a Rusty Blackbird sing its gurgle-whistle song, and spotted it with the Common Grackles. 

Looking forward to a plentiful spring!
