As birds migrate through our area, it always amazes me how small an area they are willing to use for stop-overs to refuel. I bike along Windsor's riverfront each day, and in this narrow strip of trees and green area between the river and city, I consistently see an incredible number of species that are migrating through.
Yesterday, in about an hour total of birding along the river, I saw Northern Rough-winged Swallows (who will become resident and breed along the river), Tree Swallows, Barn Swallows, Chimney Swifts, a Downy Woodpecker, lots of American Robins, and then a large flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers and Ruby-crowned Kinglets!
