Spring Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, May 19th, 2012

A Blue Grosbeak perched atop a tree in the parking lot, Indigo Buntings singing in the bright morning light, a Northern Rough-winged Swallow sitting on some old farm equipment, and a Northern Parula that played hard-(but not impossible)-to-get were highlights of this morning's Cape MAYgration walk at the Rea Farm.
