We were just up in Northern Ohio -Magee Marsh, Metzger Marsh, Ottawa NWR, etc-
from Sunday 4/25 to Weds 4/28 and only counted yellow-rumps, palm, a couple of
yellows, and 1 northern waterthrush as far as warblers go.There were sightings
of a Blackburnian, prothonotary and black-throated green but that was it. And
one summer tanager. I know we were early but we really thought we'd see a few
more than we did! So maybe as you say Brainard, they just aren't here yet,
'cause they sure weren't up north either!
Tonight though, I finally saw 2 male rose-breasted grosbeaks at the feeders in
the yard, heard a hermit thrush this a.m.- maybe more species will be showing
up...

Subject: [birdky] RPT: Weirdest spring migration ever????
The spring songbird migration has been getting a bit scarey, lately; early May
and not even some flocks of Yellow-rumps yet. I had just about totally lost
faith until I heard a Cape May Warbler singing in our yard in Louisville just
now. I know I've been like everyone else thinking ... OK, maybe on *this* front
there will be migrants ... I blamed the early spring season's lack of migrants
on the warm, clear weather that allowed most all the birds to migrate straight
thru past us. However, the recent unsettled weather would normally have
resulted in some decent fallouts. Meanwhile, all of the regular nesters seem to
be arriving, albeit now seveal days later than normal.
Hopefully things will finally get to normal during the next week or so ...
