Hi Laura and everyone,
Yesterday morning, Scott Anthony and I spent a bunch of time there.
Birds were foraging mostly in the flowering pear trees and apple trees. Only a
very few hawthorns (Crataegus sp.) were visible with blossom buds about to pop.
Most are still in initial leaf-out stages.
Did anyone bird the Hawthorn orchard today?

This is indirectly related to birds, in that the insects the birds are feeding
upon (such as leafrollers, or Tortricidae moth larvae, which may have irruptive
cycles), may predominantly be found on the leaves of certain species of
hawthorns. If one could identify the species of hawthorns in
Dave...the city maintains an online database and interactive map of its
13,000+ trees. Hopefully this will be helpful in determining your hawthorn
variety (advance apologies. ..it does not seem optimized for mobile devices
so I can't absolutely verify).
Has anyone been to the Hawthorn orchard today (Thursday 5/16)? Our yard is
hopping with migrants this morning so I wonder what's up at our local migrant
trap?

Bob, et. al.,
I didn’t arrive until later this morning, but the best birding was restricted
to the oak trees along the North ravine edge. Most birds seem to be feeding
among the oak leaf clusters. Very few birds were down in the hawthorns, as of
yet. It was a cold start to the morning, too. I
Most of the action in the Hawthorn Orchard this morning was in the NE corner -
best observed from the edge of the softball field. Birds of most interest
included:
Black-and-white Warbler 2
Nashville Warbler 2
Mourning Warbler (singing) 1
American Redstart
Jay and I were there for a bit this morning. Not a huge number of birds,
but migrants (including a/the Orange-crowned Warbler) were around. Here's
our list, with audio:

Hi Folks,
Do you need a reason to plant Hawthorn trees--apart from the fact that
they grow fast and Woolly Mammoths won't eat them?
Today we've had a flock of Robins accompanied by a few Waxwings dining on
the "haws" or berries. It makes this winter day much more pleasant.

The Hawthorns were quiet, but the MOURNING WARBLER was singing at the end
of the ravine near the pond near the field with the fire hydrant when I
arrived at 7:45. It stopped by 8:00. Aside from the usual breeders, there
were two TENNESSEE WARBLERS singing and two BLACKPOLL WARBLERS, one singing
Good stuff in the Hawthorns this morning including ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER
near Mitchell St entrance along gorge, NORTHERN PARULA, and more.

Just to clarify, the Orange-crowned Warbler in the Hawthorns this morning
was singing softly, which is what first alerted me to its presence, at the
edge of the Hawthorns at the corner of the ravine and the dirt track that
comes up from the pond near the Recreation Way off Mitchell Street (so, the
