Hummingbirds are arriving in Athens County!  Had one male ruby-throat during
a birding class I was helping with this weekend at Waterloo Wildlife Area,
and he was kind enough to sit still in a tree long enough for a few folks to
see him in the scope.  Then yesterday, I had 2 sneak up behind me on our
property, and I was delighted to turn around to see a fantastic pendulum
display in progress.  I haven't actually seen them at my feeder yet, but I'm
glad to know they are here!

Other recent migrants of note:
2 male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks at Waterloo on Saturday
1 male Baltimore Oriole seen and heard along my road since Thursday evening
1 Pine Siskin (female, I believe) at my feeders yesterday
1 very loud Great-crested Flycatcher in the woods across from my house yesterday
1 singing Black-billed Cuckoo passing through one evening last week
1 singing Black-throated Green Warbler singing along the back edge of our
property yesterday.

Happy Migration!
