The Mt. Tabor bird walk today was extra quiet for this time of
year........Christopher and Adrian Hinkle were the leaders and will probably
post a more complete report after their afternoon tests.
There was one Flycatcher, a very few Warblers, generally few of anything save a
large group of Crossbills and several Western Tanagers.
A Townsend's Solitaire and a Lazuli Bunting were highlights.
We speculated that everything has flown on by in this spell of good weather. It
does cause a bit of wonder.

Subject: [obol] reflections on spring migration
It's of interest to reflect on species which have not yet been reported at all,
or in numbers, in what seems to be shaping up as this "early" spring of 2013.
I am thinking of swallows, which do not seem to be around much earlier than
"normal." Also Black Swifts (perhaps over Mother's Day with its forecast
inclement weather?). Most flycatchers seem on time. Wood Ducks seem unusually
sparse.
What patterns are shaping up for other observers?
