They were doing their little courtship display too. It is always fun to watch a pair go back and forth in passing a food item (usually for several minutes) until one either eats or drops that item.

The GSNWR does indeed have an influx of Veerys today. Add to that the arrival of Marsh Wrens. 2 or 3 were singing in emerging cattails along the Pond 3A/B dike road at dusk tonight.
Good birding,
Randy

These towers don’t quite look like the one in the picture but I think they are equally ugly :-( Anyone know about them or if they are part of the same line as mentioned? Just curious.

I was talking with Pete Pacinski yesterday. He said the birds shouldn’t have a problem moving into our area with the winds the way they are currently….blowing the wrong direction, but very light. According to accuweather, the High that has been playing full zone defense on us has moved above Maine. So hopefully we’ll get SOMETHING in the next 2 days.

I’m trying to be optimistic…..hard as it magy be.

(2001, 2002, + 2006). Also had one calling at Little Brook Sanctuary up in the north fringe of the county in 2002. Have a good night – Chris
