Finally! The southward migration of songbirds is becoming more intense.
It is March and, as expected, the pace of the northward migration has increased.
One of the major signs of spring took place on March 1 when Albert Fischer found one tree swallow over Squibnocket pond near the beach parking lot.
A first for the year! Bob Shriber found a Lapland longspur on Norton Point beach on March 1.
It is a bit early in the year for shorebirds to show up on their northward migration. It is still February, after all.
