Catbird's back, but is it sitting in the catbird seat? Hard to say. The surroundings seem pretty good for them, but they've had some bad luck here. A couple years ago, the neighbors told me a cat got the local nesting pair, and then last year, the catbird we had sang and sang, but never seemed to find a mate. So here's wishing it luck this year.
I've seen a few black-and-white warblers, but not much else. However, it's early yet. I wouldn't expect any great variety of warblers for a week or so. White-throated sparrows have been pretty numerous. There was a little flock on my yard the other day. The chimney swifts, meanwhile, seem to have deserted our neighborhood. I know they're back, because I saw a few in Cambridge this evening. I'll miss them in summer if they're truly gone.
