Spring migration - Blue Mash

After two weeks in Germany, I used my last day off to swing by Blue Mash and bag whatever peak migration had in store. Last year's spring migration was meager and this year did not seem any different and only few species of warblers including a Chat and Black-throated Blue were heard. Still overall the birding was neat: A solitary Solitary Sandpiper on the large pond, several Yellow-billed Cuckoos and Red-eyed Vireos were about. Willow Flycatchers were back on territory and the first brood of Tree Swallows was out and about. Altogether I had 17!! new year list species and ended the day with 54 species. The year list stands now at 91 or 66%.
