Saturday was very productive with migrants, with decent numbers of migrants, including BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHES, PINE and PALM WARBLER, EASTERN PHOEBE, HERMIT THRUSH, GOLDEN and RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS, EASTERN TOWHEE, and CHIPPING SPARROW, along with a few FOX SPARROWS, at least one RUSTY BLACKBIRD, and other migrants found mainly in March. Migration lessened with a trickle of regular migrants, including those mentioned, throughout the first half of the week, but got a bit better in terms of quantity more than quality later in the week. The park's first LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH of the year was seen Tuesday thru Friday at the Pond, which has a small mudflat that can be good for both waterthrushes. Nearby in the Hallet Sanctuary, an early NORTHERN PARULA was seen this morning. Two TREE SWALLOWS were seen at Turtle Pond on Tuesday, but they will surely become fairly common over time as well as NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOWS and BARN SWALLOWS, of which a few have been seen. GREAT EGRETS are now a regular sight with both flyovers and birds at the water bodies throughout the park. YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS may be right around the corner, with one reported in the north end today, and possibly a few more around
