Hi Bob!

I did not think you meant May! May is normally better further north like
Magee Marsh - which I have never done - or Point Pelee which I birded in
'13. Interestingly enough, I learned at High Island that the Louisiana
Waterthrush is an early migrant. Since I always went April 15th and later,
I only saw Northern Waterthrushes there. I can just see Jim not getting
past the rookery with his camera. Of course they now have a skywalk there,
which I have not seen.

Good Birding!
