All 4 passages, oldest first.
Time spent listening to recorded versions of this bird’s call paid off on May 19, and I was able to locate a Bay-breasted in the depths of the thickets bordering the Spurwink Cemetery and marsh.
And lastly on April 28 along the fringes of the Spurwink Cemetery I came across a single “Ipswich” Savannah Sparrow and separately two Savanah Sparrows.
During the spring of 2022 I happened upon a lemon-yellow colored Blue-winged Warbler below the Spurwink Church Cemetery, foraging where the forest edge meets the marsh.
On the rather raw and rainy May 5 I came across a second Indigo Bunting within the Spurwink Church Cemetery along with my first female Common Yellowthroat of the year.
