Bird sightings

On Sunday 11th May at Whitewater state park :

The common grackle
American Goldfinch
Oriole
Ruby-throated hummingbird
Red-necked Grosbeak
Tree swallow ( a spring swallow has a blue head and back and a white belly. In summer the head and back turn brown !)
Black header Chickadee
Swift
Red-headed woodpecker
Pileated woodpecker
Common crow

All this without binoculars. Which led me to believe that with a pair of binoculars it must be paradise out there !
