With the new handy dandy Merlin App a variety of sparrows have been noted at the cemetery. These include Chipping, Clay-colored, Swamp, Song and Vesper. Of these, I now can recognize Chipping Sparrows by song. Yellow Throat, a bird that's new to me, also has a recognizable song. Cedar Waxwings were previously known to me when they flocked crab apple trees during winter. Merlin's i.d. of them now surprised me. Those mature spruce trees surrounding the cemetery are a bird hotel.
A couple of little, popup showers graced us today. Every bit of moisture helps. While we need rain it's not desperate yet. Checking the rain gauge comes later.
Takk for alt,
