Ridge Hill birdiness

Pine Warbler, Ridge Hill Reservation, Needham, MA

Things are heating up. Walking through the trails at Ridge Hill I was serenaded by a ruby-crowned kinglet (Field View Trail) and a winter wren (Chestnut Trail). The chipping sparrows have joined the pine warblers in the Ridge Hill trillfest.

I was so proud of my ability to distinguish chipping sparrows trills from pine warbler trills. Then I realized that palm warblers were also in the mix. And things got all confused again....

At any rate, nice to see the palm warblers.
