Good morning,
 I did a slow move around the yard this morning using my small  National 
Geographic parabolic mic set, hearing many more birds than I saw. I did  hear 
a warbler singing in the side yard and was finally able to locate it as it  
worked its way into the maple above the woodpile, a 1st spring male American 
 Redstart, my first spring sighting for our yard. Before I found it however 
I got  good looks at a rather secretive female Blackpoll Warbler as it 
foraged ahead of  the Redstart. Only my second sighting for this species, and my 
first female in  the yard. Also of note was my first of the season (for the 
yard) House Wren. I  don't know where they have been hiding, but not in our 
yard!
 
Also saw and heard the nesting Baltimore Orioles, Great-crested Flycatcher, 
 and male Indigo Bunting, as well as E. Kingbird, bluebirds, Tree Swallows  
(nesting in yard), Cedar Waxwings, etc. I am using the parabolic mic more 
lately  to see if I can pick up a Grasshopper Sparrow in the neighbors farm 
fields, as  he hasn't yet mowed (maybe because of the rain?). Nothing yet...
 
Enjoy the fog,
