We had a few days of warmth and with it came some of our early spring migrants. On Sunday, March 21st before I went for my Piping Plover volunteer event, I birded Big Egg Marsh, Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge West Pond and Floyd Bennett Field. I was on a tight schedule, so I did not get to work over the areas as well as I would have liked.
Nevertheless, I picked up several FOS (first of the season) birds like Great Egret, Tree Swallow, and Osprey. Since then, we had a cold spell and yesterday and today saw a lot of rain. It is still early, but hopefully, dry and warm weather in the next few days, bring new migrants into the area.
last weekend saw an osprey on the nesting box at plum island and my 1st tree swallow here 5 days ago, can't waitfor more firsts this season
