So far this spring I've been pretty disappointed with the migrants, probably
due to the fact that I was gone during peak passage. However, this morning
helped pick my spirits up. Around 8:25 this morning I heard a Mourning
Warbler singing down by the creek that runs through my yard. He wasn't very
confident in his singing, making this normally hard-to-see bird even harder
than usual. He would sing his muffled song once or twice every few minutes,
then would be silent. I would just start to give up then he would appear
somewhere else. I am now thoroughly convinced that Mourning Warblers have an
absurd ability to teleport. The Connecticut Warblers I've had this spring
are compliant in comparison.
Other that that it was a pretty uneventful morning. I have posted the full
eBird list below.
I posted a rough record shot on my flickr:
