Another lifer


howdy all,

Jeff and I went birding this morning at Bluff Point.
We were hoping that there would be allot of migrating warblers.....but it was a windy day..
We did see lots of yellow warblers, a black and white warbler and the lifer of the day was a Blue winged warbler, as it turned out there were actually quite a few blue winged....i believe that they nest here.

We met a biker while we were birding and he showed us a few trails that we haven't been on...so next time we will do a bit more exploring. One of the trails leads to Haley farm...another goes out to Groton long point area. This is a great place for mountain bikers as well as walkers and joggers.

The air smelled so sweet today....there was something blooming that filled the air with a wonderful aroma......we didn't have time to look for shore birds...as we were busy looking for migrants....I think all the birds we saw were migrating locals.....
I think we missed the big migration here which would be the first two weeks of may....but we may check out a few more areas for late migrating birds.

I worked in the garden today....pulled up some brick borders and replaced them so that they would show up a bit more....the soil had covered allot of them...also planted some annuals...
I will do some more gardening later this week....maybe change a few things around.....

anyway....spring has sprung again....ha...our first spring was in North Carolina....
Lucky us to have two springs.....
