The Birds Are Here!

.
Feller and Charlie DeWitt and I met at Lane's Landing yesterday morning (May 6) for a brief hour of birding.  Even in that small amount of time it was obvious that the late migrants are in the area.  We counted 40 species of birds including Common Yellowthroat, Gray Catbird, Yellow Warbler, Yellow-throated Vireo, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Scarlet Tanager, Warbling Vireo, Least Flycatcher, American Redstart, Northern Waterthrush and Great Crested Flycatcher.  We could not find the Prothonotary Warbler reported by George Wickstrom and others on Wednesday (May 5).
