Rose-breasted Grosbeaks arrived last Wednesday, I think. First their warbled song, then two appeared at the next door neighbor’s feeder. Warbling birds were noted in the woods nearby. On Sabbath, White-crowned Sparrows showed themselves. They appear a stately sparrow. The churrup of the Oriole was heard as well. Scores of gulls have been counted. Last night, a strange brief gull-like scratchy screech was heard. It called several times. Its very last call seemed different than the others. I listened at my bedroom window for some time, wondering.
Today, Sunday, the wind blows and blows like it is bringing in an enormous storm.
