Friday, May 1, 2020
Wallingford, PA
(Habitat: suburban deciduous forest edge/field; ended at bird feeder/backyard)

Time: 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Weather: It was mostly cloudy with the sun coming out every so often, warm--67 degrees F, with a slight wind from the northwest.

Interesting observation: there were so many Gray Catbirds today! I've been seeing a few around our yard lately, but they seemed to have multiplied and were very active today. I wonder if they're nesting and settling in after migration. I love how bold they are--both when I was at the forest edge and in our backyard, they didn't seem to mind me at all, coming within a few feet of me. They would throw me looks every so often, but they didn't let my presence change their plans! I also realized that I can recognize their calls, but I didn't really know what their song sounded like until observing them today.
