SW Washington. I have missed this for the last 2 weeks but here goes.
This is my 5th year of MAMU surveys.

Highlights
Arrival of Pacific-Slope Flycatchers
Over 90 detections at the Murrelet training.

May 1-5
2 MAMU's seen
Large #'s of Turkey Vultures
Western Tanagers arrive
and Pac-Slopes in good numbers now commonly singing.
(Close encounter w/ a Barred Owl pre-dawn)

May 7-12
Swainson's Thrushes arrive 2 seen May 7, 1 finally heard (not fully
singing) May 11
Black Headed Grosbeaks heard singing May 8.
