[mou] late migration

[Dave Bartkey]

  I am still seeing Orange-crowned Warblers and White-throated Sparrows here
in Rice County too, as well as Palm, Yellow-rumped and Nashville Warblers. 

  Two things which I attribute to "peak" spring migration; the arrival of
numerous Mourning and Canada Warblers, and Tennessee Warblers singing from
everywhere (so much so that their songs are still ringing in my ears at
night when I'm trying to sleep) haven't happened here yet. I have seen both
Mourning and Canada Warblers (very few), and numbers of the aforementioned
warblers and sparrow are rapidly dwindling, so I'm keeping my fingers
crossed that a huge push is still on it's way, but sometimes nature can
throw us a curveball and migration passes us by in the night. Here's to
hoping that doesn't happen!

Good birding!

I walked around Giard Park here in Bloomington this afternoon and had 
14 species of warblers, what was unusual was that the most common 
warbler was still the Yellow rump W and also had a half dozen 
White-throated Sparrows as well.
