Andrea and all,
I am also waiting for my FOY House Wren and Gnatcatcher. However, there is good
reason for this. Check out the radar right now. There's a stationary front
stretching from the Oklahoma Panhandle to Ohio. This is the line that is
backing up the migrants. South of that line, there have been all kinds of
spring goodies reported. However, as we've seen with this last snowfall and the
upcoming winter storm tomorrow (we're supposed to get 6 inches of snow here in
RC) it's still too cold yet for many of the spring birds.
I'm hoping that this cold spring will delay migration just enough to produce an
epic migration day with insane fallout so my team can top 200 on our Big Day
this spring. Of course, I just have to guess which day that's going to be..
ugh....
Happy Birding! --Chris W, Richland County Interpretive Naturalist Mississippi

"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first
material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the
composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no
more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be
again."
(From William Beebe's "The Bird: Its Form and Function," 1906)
