Wednesday, May 9 2012 Checked the goose pond near the little bridge at 11 am. No sign of the indigo buntings. Got an email from Shannon Doanne who saw five at lunch time at six pm so I decided to go back rain or not. Found four, maybe five, catching behaved like cedar waxwings catching flies in the air. One of them snapped up one from the water. One bunting was in full plumage. The second was a young male. The third was male, but not totally blue. Two others were female. One looked so pale. A male yellow rumped warbler was there. So were three grackles and one mourning dove plus the other usuals. 10 species. Very birdy in that little corner... The birds hunkered beneath the thick bushes when the rain became heavy. A few years ago, at least ten chimney swifts were flying around the large pond. Two years ago, two Eastern Kingbirds were there. Let's hope the park will be more bird-friendly. Thanks to Dennis Garrett, Shannon Doane, and the others. Cheers, Liz
