Until today, the continuing knee-deep snow, cold temperatures, very little
bare ground and even less open water had combined to limit new arrivals this
week to American Tree Sparrow on March 27. But today's (April 2) balmy 13 degrees and
southwest winds opened the migration floodgates with first observations of
Wood Duck, Common Merganser, Turkey Vulture, Cooper's Hawk, Killdeer,
American Woodcock, Eastern Phoebe and American Robin. This was about
normal timing for most of these species but the two robins were ten days
later than the average arrival.
