The terrestrial birds continue to be very slow. 1 STARLING (I'm not complaining there!); 1 GRACKLE; 2 RED-WING BLACKBIRDS; 1 possible LEAST FLYCATCHER.
Several GRAY CATBIRDS continue, mainly hunting under the boardwalks and dropping by to snack on grape jelly and grapefruit.
Overnight there seems to have been a minor increase. From the house this morning, I've seen 1 EASTERN WOOD PEWEE; 1 LEAST FLYCATCHER; 2 YELLOW WAEBLERS; 1 EASTERN KINGBIRD; 1 PARULA; 1 female BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER and (Could it be a sign of spring at last?) 1 ROBIN.
Our GANNET continues to land among the Alcids and seems to have taken a liking to a couple of adjacent rocks. It arrives around sun-up and carries on a feud for space with the encroaching RAZORBILLS & MURRES. Guess who wins.
Left undisturbed, it hangs around much of early & mid day, occasionally lifting for an orbit or two and then returning to its perch.
It will be interesting to see if it gets confortable enough with human disturbance to remain all summer. That might lead to a nesting attempt in the future.
The TERNS continue to establish nest territories although no eggs have yet been found.
