Firsts of the Year and Slingshot Birds

Prothonotary Warbler Early spring is a time of many firsts for the nature watcher. Sometimes slowly, sometimes in bursts, locally slumbering critters are coming online every day.

However, we know coastal living is not winter-focused, and conditions were vintage south coast, providing brief snow cover that already has vanished with the arrival of meteorological spring. Temperatures ranged from cold to spring-like, and the landscape from brown-green of recent seasons to snow-covered, enough to view the birdlife that seeks refuge here in this harshest of seasons.
