April 18 - Window birding only

This will be a short post today. It was a chilly, mostly overcast and wet day with on and off rain. I never left the apartment and the only birds noted were from the window. Nevertheless, I was able to add one species to the apartment's list for the month: in the afternoon a calling Fish Crow flew over. The only other birding note was that this was the first day this spring there was more than one Great Egret at Muscota Marsh. The month's apartment total is now 28 species. The day's total list of 18 species is below.
