Tweeters:

Today while getting ready for a big trip between downpours, I noted an
arrival BLACK SWIFT in the company of several VAUX'S over the Marysville
pulic library. Shortly thereafter I had a second in a larger group of
Vaux's (about 20) circling right over the house with swallows. As often
happens with low pressure systems, the birds were feeding down low, just
above the treetops. Seems like most years our first Black Swifts in the
region show in mid-May; I don't recall any Tweeters reports yet this year,
and recall that some years the first arrivals don't show until the last week
of May or even early June.

Also of note for us were one OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER, two W. WOOD-PEWEES, and
a MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER, all annual here but uncommon and evidently
migrants.
