Hofma Preserve on Friday

There were 5-8 Sedge Wrens singing around the Hofma Preserve marsh this morning, seldom showing themselves, and none near the boardwalk.

Among the 33 bird species were Veery, Wood Thrush, Black-throated Green Warbler, Pileated Woodpecker, Willow, Alder, Great-crested Flycatcher and Eastern Kingbird.

Common this morning were Swamp Sparrow, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow Warbler and Red-winged Blackbird (one asking to have its picture taken).

This male Rose-breasted Grosbeak was singing in the woods north of the marsh.
