Certainly did last night here. We added Green Heron, Indigo Bunting, Wood Thrush, Black and White Warbler and Black-billed cuckoo. Looking at our 31 year norms, most of these were 9 days late.
On the 11th we had Black-throated Green, Least Flycatcher, Blue-winged Warbler and Red-eyed Video all right on the 31 year norm date. A hummer on the 12th was only two days late. As we are at altitude we usually lad the valley locations by one to two weeks.
