Yesterday, from our home, Paul and I heard a familiar "dee dee dee" in the air. We have had just a few days of enjoyment watching newly arrived Grackles, Red-Winged Blackbirds, and Brown-Headed Cowbirds, so we were on the alert for more springtime visitors.
We watched as two Killdeer flew up the Connecticut River and into Middle Cove in Essex where we live, settling on a mudpatch.
At Hammonasset today, Paul and I looked around for more evidence of these early migrants, and found two more on the newly created salt marsh areas. All bright and newly plumed, these birds looked ready for a full year ahead.
