Wren the First Swallow Arrives

Yesterday, I entered Central Park at Turtle Pond, when I saw a bird flying towards me. But when it turned, I was shocked to realize it was a TREE SWALLOW (Year Bird #65)! One of the early March migrants, they have shown up along the coast, so it was only a matter of time before one showed up here. After that, I went down to the Gill to see if I could find species that like that environment, such as Winter Wren and Rusty Blackbird. I was about to tell some birders about the swallow when a small, brown bird flew into view. A Winter Wren (#66)! At this rate, it seems like other migrants, such as kinglets, sparrows, and Pine Warblers are just around the corner.
