I have to say that this is so far the worst season I have ever seen for warblers and other tropical migrants in my area. I used to wake up to a new bird song every morning by this time of year. Not this one. I have had one black and white and that is all. Not even an oriole or grossbeak either. No house wrens that usually nest all over my neighborhood yet. Last night while walking down a wooded trail near the lake the only thing I saw was a first of the season bat. Every spring seems a little quieter than the last. Now that the white throated sparrows have moved on it is real quiet. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
