May 5 - 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.
After 3 days at Shawnee and 2 days at The Wilds, it was great to come home
and find such a good selection of nesters at our usual "neighborhood" birding
areas. We managed 108 species on this trip, including 21 species of
warblers. Hopefully, this next week we'll find some of the ones at Crane Creek we
missed.

show up in early to mid July. Last year, the young fledged on August 12.
