Continuing my theme of a slow spring migration with lots of late
arrivals in the backyard (west Knox Co), I had a few birds passing
through today (Fri, 15 May) including a couple of LONG-overdue
first-of-season (FOS) birds and a couple late records.

Yellow-billed Cuckoo, 1 predicting rain (ie, calling)

EASTERN WOOD-PEWEE, 1, FOS, 22 days past my early arrival date

Red-eyed Vireo, 5+, the (presumedly) resident male has been on
territory for a few weeks now singing and hiding in the treetops,
the passerbys were all very visible but silent, I first thought
he would be upset at the intrusion on his territory but maybe
this was a wave of females

Swainson's Thrush, 1

Black-throated Green Warbler, 1, ties previous late date in the yard
Bay-breasted Warbler, 1, new late (spring) date
Blackpoll Warbler, 2

SUMMER TANAGER, 1, FOS, 30(!) days past my early arrival date
