The day was warmer than average for mid-April but we did not find the influx of April migrants that we had hoped for. Cloud cover increased all day and brought rain by late afternoon. We enjoyed a very pretty walk through historic Batsto village to the lake, which was mirror-calm. There were Purple Martins and swallows overhead all day. We had a good look at a Wood Duck guarding its tree nest, and watched the beautiful and photogenic white swans. Several Pine Siskins were a nice surprise mixed in a flock of goldfinches. Later, we looked for a Red-headed Woodpecker along a sand road near Chatsworth, but instead found the Pine Barrens endemic plant \u201cPyxie\u201d in full bloom.
