There was less of a breakout of song than I expected today, but there were migrants about.  One was  a Common Loon just above treetop level; another was a Spotted Sandpiper that cruised, belt-high, down Fordham and hung a left on Princeton.  There were lots of Blue Jays on their usual beeline north, a couple of Chimney Swifts and a probable Barn Swallow that dropped behind the tree line.  A Blue-headed Vireo was probably the Appalachian race, alticola, but the foliage was too thick to be sure.  This is going to be a brutal spring if you don't know the songs.  Warblers included Nashville, Black-and-white and Ovenbird.  Later a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak visited my feeder.  Not a bad start.
