A single pound of yellow rump is approximately 37.2 individuals. A ton is
nearing 75 thousand birds.
I think Melissa do exaggerate 😁

Jeremy, i too enjoyed LBL today & found all of your new spring migrants
except for the Devil’s urn fungi. That stuff looks like dried up
blueberries!! Good luck on your morels.
Interestingly, there were no yellow rumps which i had tons of at my cabin on
Jonathan Creek Ky Lake yesterday.
However i did have rue anemone & two Caspians!! I need to go back for an
indigo bunting & a parula. It helps that there are few leaves on our trees.

I covered a large part of northeastern LBL today and had a few new birds
(and other stuff).
Highlights:
- Louisiana waterthrushes (probably not so new)
- At least 10 different singing balck-and-white warblers
- First of season yellow-throated warbler
- First of season blue-gray gnatcatcher
- Tiger swallowtail butterflies
- First of season zebra swallowtail butterfly
- Blue phlox in full bloom and putting on a show
- Dogwoods starting to bloom
- Devil’s urn fungi
- Zero morels, which is what I was actually looking for
Welcome to spring!
