Sighting Report: May 5, 1995

• The last couple of days has brought in some new species, although not in great numbers. A HOODED WARBLER was found nearby on Greenfield Village property on 2 May; it was seen yesterday as well, but I've not heard a report today. Last year we hosted three Hooded Warblers, so expect another report.
• 3 May gave us our first COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, and the first GRAY CATBIRD we netted turned out to be one we banded three years ago to the day.
• Today, we banded two INDIGO BUNTINGS, right on time for this species. Other birds first seen today were NASHVILLE WARBLER, BLUE-WINGED WARBLER, LEAST FLYCATCHER (one seen, one banded), and ORCHARD ORIOLE. The Orchard Orioles are annual nesters by the Henry Ford Estate.
