The movement of some of our short-distance migrants was evident today as we watched many Northern Flickers and Blue Jays stream overhead and listened to Gray Catbirds all around us. We’ve started to see Yellow-rumped Warblers and Swamp Sparrows, but the unexpectedly early sighting was a Dark-eyed Junco, perched atop a tree.
