Barn Swallows, Tree Swallows and Chimney Swifts reigned the skies today, with a cool breeze and clear air. We had our first good views of Bobolinks this season, as two perched atop a cedar and they could also be heard overhead. Warbler numbers are still low with just six species seen. Veerys are back and calling occasionally and we had good scope views of Green Heron and Belted Kingfisher on Lighthouse Pond.
