Much warmer this morning. The Robins seemed to have largely passed through but Yellow-rumped Warblers are still everywhere along with a good scattering of the common sparrows (Song, Swamp, Whited-throated), a few Ruby-crowned Kinglets (no Golden-crowned seen or heard), a lagging Eastern Phoebe or two and at least one Hermit Thrush. Royal Terns are still patrolling the creek along with Belted Kingfisher and the two remaining species of herons (Great Egret and Great Blue). Only one raptor seen: a juvenile Cooper's Hawk darting among the trees and avoiding the unwanted attentions of some crows.
Penny Moser writes to tell me that the Sag Harbor Fish Crows have been gathering in and around the Sag Harbor Post Office. Around here, there are a small number of Fish Crows but they are easily outnumbered by the American Crows.
