Coming from town, Liverpool, toward White Point on the road near the DOT office and salt sheds, I saw what I am pretty sure was a Nighthawk resting on the wires. I didn't get a really good long look, as I was driving and someone was behind me. I saw the white at throat, chest and on the wing. Tree Swallows are scarce here. We had two that set up housekeeping on the weekend then left with the arrival of the rain. Two more visited from time to time but the other houses usually full aren't occupied sadly. I hope it changes. I had a short sit in the town parking lot. One solitary Swallow hunting over the bridge. I checked at Whynot's garage. Usually a couple settle in the yard light standard but not so far this year. With the sun appearing today, I am seeing a few flying bodies and one Sulphur butterfly. I still haven't seen a hummingbird for sure on my property, and not on my feeders but as we waited at a stop in town, I did see one buzzing what appears to be a Magnolia (I think) planted too close to road. I hope it shows up here. Lots of other birds moving through, not as many as I would like. Sparrows, Song and White Throats, Chickadees, a couple Juncos, a white breasted Nuthatch, Goldfinches and a Purple finch pair, Starlings, Grackles, Robins, Mourning Doves, Crows and Ravens, Brown headed cowbirds, males and females, Red-winged blackbirds, males and females, and the woodpeckers, Hairy Downy and Flickers. I think there is still a red crossbill in the tree tops but can't be certain as I can't get close enough to get a photo. My binocs don't go high enough power. So. Tiny warblers include Yellow rumpeds and again the rest are high so. Soon I expect the Wax wings to come in after apple blossoms Best regards, Marg in White Point.
