Resident species were in full-throated song at CHC WMA this morning. Northern Cardinals, Carolina Wrens, Tufted Titmouse and Fish Crow were really belting it out in the warm spring sun. Migrants included Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Purple Martin, Osprey and Pine Warbler. Turtles are on the move there, too, and both a Box Turtle and a Red Slider crossed our path with lots more turtles in the big back pond.
