Birdwatchers Enjoying A Bounty Of Birdsong And Color As Birds Return
Birdwatchers are delighting in a bounty of song and color as birds continue to return statewide. Baltimore and orchard orioles, scarlet tanagers, indigo buntings, rose-breasted grosbeaks, ruby-throated hummingbirds and other backyard favorites like house wrens, gray catbirds, American goldfinches and red-headed woodpeckers are showing well in most areas.
Warblers are moving later than usual this year with large numbers still being seen in the southern tier of the state. Shorebirds are another bird group to watch right now, particularly at flooded fields, mudflats and coastal beaches.
