Despite the impending freezes, Spring was in the air at Flag Ponds Nature
Park today. An EASTERN PHOEBE was calling as I started down the trail, then
I began hearing and seeing PINE WARBLERS. YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS were
almost absent. The beach yielded some real jewels -- one adult NORTHERN
GANNET and one RED-THROATED LOON joined the BUFFLEHEADS, RUDDY DUCKS AND
HORNED GREBES. A solitary PIED-BILLED GREBE foraged on Duncan's Pond along
with three HOODED MERGANSERS and a solitary AMERICAN WIGEON.
