Temp: 45°F

Ruby-crowned Kinglet’s are among the group of tiny birds with giant voices; the one that sang in the wetwoods this morning sounded more giant than average, as its voice echoed between the trees. Pine Warblers trilled in a few places, a Common Loon flew overhead and a group of Rusty Blackbirds, birds endangered in NJ, displayed in some treetops.
