Spring Birds from our backyard

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher

Chipping Sparrow

Ruby-crowned Kinglet

We are still deciding whether or when to go to Cape May or Garrett Mountain or Central Park to see the spring bird migration. In the meantime, we are catching a few in our backyward.

Patrick R said...: Quick question: when does the Spring Migration peak? I was thinking about checking out Cape May, but thought I'd already missed it.; April 23, 2011 at 11:43 AM
Chris and Mike said...: Cape May is nice much of the year. The web site Cape May Calendar has a calendar of activities. The second week of May is around the peak time, but it does depend on weather, winds, fronts, etc. You won't be disappointed if you are a week or two early or late.; April 23, 2011 at 12:38 PM
