["Raincrow" <raincrow@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Spring has hit my yard! Here's my list for the past 24 hours:
Barn owl
Wild turkeys
CATBIRD! 
Chuck-will-widow
Rubythroated hummingbirds (male and female)
Red-eyed vireo
Yellow-throated vireo
Yellow-billed cuckoo
Summer tanagers (male and female)
Yellow-breasted chat
Palm warbler
Magnolia warbler
E. Towhees

plus my usual Northern cardinals (as opposed to what other cardinal 
directions?), Mourning doves, Am crows, Blue jays, Tufted titmice, Pileated and 
Red-bellied woodpeckers, Bluebirds, E. meadowlarks, Phoebes, and Carolina wrens.

Last evening as I was driving home, I saw two male Rose-breasted grosbeaks fly 
across the road ahead of me; none in my yard this morning, tho. When I reached 
my driveway and stepped out of the car, the air was unexpectedly redolent of 
AUTUMN -- rain-soaked, freeze-killed oak leaves. It took a second for my cortex 
to catch up to my olfactory lobe...

Where are my Great-crested flycatchers?

Happy migration, everybody.
