Last week I published a question about which spring migrant brings the most
joy on arrival.
Amazingly, 32 responses produced 24 different birds! (We're not a diverse
group, are we?)
The responses show a decided Midwestern flavor, since the Birdchat
(national/international) post bounced back.
Here are the results:
* RW Blackbird, 4
* Eastern Bluebird, 3
* Sandhill Crane, 2.5
* Eastern Meadowlark, 2
* Ruby-throated Hummingbird, 2
* Yellow-headed Blackbird, Song Sparrow, sparrows in general, Gray Catbird,
White-throated Sparrow, RC Kinglet, Tundra Swan, American Redstart,
Golden-cheeked Warbler, Wood Thrush, Eastern Kingbird, House Wren, Barred
Owl, Common Yellowthroat, Eastern Towhee, Indigo Bunting, E. Starling - 1
* Killdeer - .5
Good birding to all!

PS In the spirit of April Fool's Day, one of the birds above was not
nominated. Can you guess which one?
