I am distressed that this spring so far has been dismal for yard
birds for me.
I usually have new warblers to wake up t almost every day at this
time of year.
So far this year I have only had a few yellow rumps and two nashvilles.
I have lived in the neighborhood for 12 years. This is the first year
with no orioles
in the neighborhood. They have always nested here.


I live very close to the lake so usually get loads of warblers. Even
the thrushes are scarce this year.
I always get plenty of Magnolias, Black throated Greens, Black
Throated Blues, Blue Wings,
Blackburnians, Black and Whites, Tennessees and more. I have had
Mourning Warblers and Wilson's too.


This years migrants so far amount to three rose breasted grossbeaks,
a male ruby throated humming bird and a blue gray gnat catcher. .

It is way too quiet here on the west side of Cleveland.
