It must be a good spring for Cape May warblers! We had one on our property this morning as a new yard bird! It was at eye level in a tall Larch tree. It was singing a song I was unfamiliar with and took me quite a while to finally see the bird. There were many Ruby-crowned Kinglets in the tree as well and I kept focusing on them instead until I was able to finally get a killer view of the Cape May. It stuck around for 30 minutes in that same tree! Other first of the year birds - Indigo Bunting, Wood duck (a stunning male), Redstart and a calling Blackbilled Cuckoo. Still no Woodthrush. Laura
