After carefully scouring the internet for news of postponements and cancellations, I found no references to any cancellation of the annual spring avian migration that is usually underway this time of year. Of course there are no parks to venture into, the ocean is off limits, and social distancing imposes even greater limits, especially for birding illiterates like me who can barely distinguish a warbler from a spoonbill, and need someone to tell me what species i am observing. Imagine my surprise then today while in my car at the local CVS (in full biohazard gear) i spied a whole flock of active birds in the trees overlooking the drive through lane. I saw yellows oranges and blues-but of course had no camera at hand.I raced home with my prescriptions and returned with my camera and got the images which appear as the first 7 photos on my flicker photostream https://www.flickr.com/photos/joelnrosenthal/? In no particular order, my guesses at the identifications are prairie warbler? spot breasted oriole(even i could figure this one out), female indigo bunting? and a ubiquitous red bellied woodpecker. Correct ids welcomed...
