With Yellow Warblers and Catbirds in double digits for the first day, there is
finally some hope that our summer residents will come in reasonable numbers.
Yellows and House Wrens so far are well below the numbers we've had in the last
couple of years. Had another good day for late May
Cloudy and cold changed to partly sunny today. A moderate stream of birds all
morning. 36 new, 2 returns:
Willow Flycatcher (FOS) 1

Dusky Flycatcher 6
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher 1
Gray Catbird 5
