[Tweeters] huge fallout

[AMK17 via Tweeters]

I'll jump on the Wilson's warbler fall out.  Several of them in the yard all day plus orange crowned.  I heard a yellow singing nearby but have yet see one.

Have they arrived?

I've been seeing a ton of aphids this year, in many sizes and colors, including some particularly juicy ones that have appeared on a large hellebore in my garden. Yesterday, at least four Wilson's descended to the ground and feasted on the aphids. Hooray!!Jill

Wilson’s Warblers filled our yard this morning, minimum of 10 foraging through the trees. Some low enough to be breathtaking, most high enough to cause the classic warbler neck, silhouettes against a white sky. But that’s warbler watching. As Jim Danzenbaker reminds us, look up! I think the reason they stay high is because they are on the move, and it’s easier to move through the treetops than through the understory.

Two Warbling Vireos added to the fun, but I saw no other species. These birds really like birch trees, which are full of insects in the spring.
