Follow-up on Eastern Phoebe discussion and Wood Thrushes-Wilton Area

[Gail Coffey]

Hi All:

I have noticed the lack of Eastern Phoebes in many areas where I usually find them-especially wetland systems-over the past month.  I do not have a pair this year like I have had for the past 11 years so may be they did not make it through a harsh winter.

On another topic, I have not heard any Wood Thrushes in my area and usually have 3-4 by now-singing away at dawn and dusk.  I also have not heard any over the past few days while out birding in places I see them around Wilton.

I am happy to report that Wednesday morning I heard at least 3 singing in my neighborhood on a 3 mile walk.

Plenty of Phoebes here (nesting again in my garage) but also a dearth of both Wood Thrushes and Hermit Thrushes.  I noticed last year that their songs were not ringing in  in my back woods as they have always been.

For what it's worth, I've been seeing the usual number of phoebes.  In fact, I have a vague impression that there are slightly more of them around than usual.  No thrushes yet, but I thought they usually arrive second week of May or thereabouts.

Same experience here where two "extra" Phoebes competed for traditional nest sites under our porch.

And heard a Wood Thrush yesterday - first and only so far.

Cowbirds were absent that last few years, but a male has been hanging out for a couple weeks. A female showed up with him, but I think she moved on.

Will hit the Hinsdale Setbacks Monday - a fun hotspot on the CT River.

Enjoy!
