Hello, tweets.

I've been away for two weeks and have missed many of the migrants
that must have gone through my yard, but this morning (5/26) I was
pleasantly surprised to see a yard full of warblers. There must have
been a half-dozen Wilson's and at least 3 Townsend's, nothing else
obvious. This seems rather late, but I suppose they are still moving
through on their way to Alaska. By way of contrast, on 5/13 near
Atlanta, GA, I saw 16 species of warblers, also late in their
migration, including a male Cerulean and 7 Blackburnians. Every
birder ought to experience at least a few days of spring migration in
the East!

My first Rufous Hummingbird of the year just appeared a few minutes
ago, as always a female. I have yet to see a male Rufous in my yard
in Seattle, even though many females and/or immatures move through
every summer.
