Hi All,
My perception of spring migration is about the same as Chris' description.
Migration of neotropical migrants almost never happened. Because of
helping out with the Sapsucker Woods Acoustic Monitoring Project (SWAMP)
this spring, I have spent a lot of time in Sapsucker Woods this spring.

I have always felt that birders, from casual to die-hard, number in the
millions and comprise a group of potentially influential activists.
I would love to see an organization, or even discussion thread dedicated to
furthering the convergence of birding and environmental activism. While I kno
We are kayaker, and there are plenty of birds along the rivers. Yellow
warblers, Baltimore orioles and especially cedar waxwings.
Around our house, same as others are reporting.

Exactly, Terry. The issue is that the birds are in the prime habitat (such as
at your campsite) but they are not as prevalent in the sub-prime habitat or
traditional backyard habitat…
Thanks for trying… :-)
Sincerely,

We have a TON of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds at camp (Forest Lake Campground, in
Truxton). Not so many in Cortland (where we live).
Also I've seen almost all the usual suspects in Cortland this year (sans the
hummingbirds).
At camp, plenty of assorted swallows (Tree and Barn) Rose-breasted Gros
Oh, yeah. I forgot about Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. I remember when we used to
have them in the Northeast. They used to be a really common and cheerful
species of the summer. People used to put out these feeders filled with
sugar-water to attract them to their house for viewing pleasure. They w
Thank you for sending this - it is exactly my experience & my concern.
I don't worry quite so much about migration, which can skip over us
easily due to weather patterns. In fact there was an odd weather
pattern in late April that seemed to sling a lot of 'my' warblers up to
the coast of Main
we usually have at least 2 nesting pairs of tree swallows in boxes furthest
from house. I haven't seen any in our boxes this year. barn swallows made
it however.

Chris et al,
I appreciate your comments and fully agree. We are blessed that after 31
years the restoration work to the sanctuary here has really come to
fruition. The creation of multiple water features and habitat niches has
proven very successful as has design/placement of nest boxes. The

Everyone,
Just pointing out the obvious here, but bird numbers in my immediate area of
Upstate NY are way down this year. I mean, WAY down. John, if you have full
capacity of nesting Tree Swallows, it may be that the sites you host are prime
and being filled to capacity because they are the bes
We have 17 boxes active, one with bluebirds, two with House Wren, a one
with chickadees and the remainder with Tree Swallows. Probably another
good year after a 100% occupancy/success rate last year. We believe this
is due to effective placement and predator guards that function well.

We usually have a dozen or so flying and nesting until mid summer. I haven't
seen a single one since early swallow migration.
