On Time Arrivals
Spring came early to Vermont, which caused everyone to feel as though the migrants should be returning also. Not so ... but they are right on time. Here are three of the favorite early arrivals which I tracked down this morning.

Hi Chris,
ReplyDeleteThese shots are already prmising, so I can imagine what it will be in the three next month. THese birds are gorgeous and your pictures too! Well done!
They are all lovely photos, great birds. I hope to see some new spring arrivals soon!
ReplyDeleteyea! they're here they're here!! and the wait is almost over...I've seen several blue grays last week, even one building a nest..only one palm and one pine. I'm off to the bird walk tomorrow morn...hoping and hoping more of those "migrants' flew in today!!
ReplyDeleteGreat captures, Chris!!
I was lucky enough to see a blue-gray nutcatcher a few years ago. They are beautiful. Love your photos in this series.
ReplyDeleteGood news Chris...the birds know when the time is right. That Palm Warbler is colourful..I only ever recall seeing one in its 'autumn' coat..much drabber.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I have yet to see a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. and have had only fleeting looks at Kinglets. I decided I must improve my chances by leaving my dog at home when birding.
