Apr. 1 (contin.) Aquatic Park 5:15 - 5:45 p.m. Boats
swirling in the main pool - no ducks there.
Saw three Forster Terns - one in breeding

with black on back of head but forehead
white with streaks of black. The ducks
had taken refuge in the K.R.E. pool: Blue-

Tennessee Warblers singing.

April 5. Hermit Thrush came for apple.
About 6:30 p.m. I noticed two Downy
Woodpeckers just outside my window.
They pecked into holes in the bark of the oak
tree. Often backed down the trunk,
At the same time - Eastern Oak Worms;
Brown Towhee; Tennessee Warblers - no
songs; all those I saw through my glasses
were females. One Cedar Waxwing was
very ragged - molting esp. about head and
shoulders. Blackpoll Warbler, had seen;

bird that has been in her garden most of
the winter - a Tennessee Solitaire.
Heavy rain most of the time.
