april birding at boxerwood

Seven birders enjoyed a sunny early spring morning yesterday. While only a few spring migrants were present, all of the birds were full of song celebrating both the sun and springtime. Highlights included continuing Purple Finches and Pine Siskins (also seen at last months walk) and great looks at a Ruby-Crowned Kinglet with its Crown in full display.
