Assumptions

A nice bright morning so off on the bike to West Hartford for some early morning migrant collection. Alas, nothing new, Chiffchaff, blackcap, and willow warbler were the only spring arrivals, with none of the hoped for grasshopper warbler, lesser throat etc. 2 short eared owl were the first for a couple of weeks, while the pool held a pair of gadwall, 2 sparring shelduck and 4 mallard.
