Jason,
I have seen something like you described. A couple years ago, I was
birding at a WPA south of Starbuck , Minnesota in Pope County. Like Mower,
Pope is not a highly birded county. But on that day, also early in the
year (May/June), there was Mayfly hatch on the large pond/small lake at
t
When Jason described the “midge hatch” and the frantic consumption by the
birds, I was immediately reminded of a MAY FLY hatch several years ago in our
area and a large number of swallows and other birds were gorging on them.

I got a lot of responses from my email last night and some very interesting
thoughts have arisen. Thank you for everyone who sent me responses.
First, I totally agree with Tom Gilde who said that you have to enjoy the
moment and not worry about whether something gets accepted or not. Having said
I was at the dam on Monday and can confirm caspian terns there. Had good
warblers that day too, sorry they didn’t stay for you (though most of mine
were in the woods on the north end of the park). Also my first pewee.

This morning Maureen & I walked the east shore of the Mississippi River
from the Hwy 610 Bridge to the north end of Cenaiko Lake, not going
quite as far upstream as the dam itself. Other than the tern, the
birding was rather slow. We were hoping for a good showing of warblers.

Yes, it is preferred by hummers in our yard too, also dandelions, clover,
violets. Hoping to be rid of grass eventually. On the edge of the grove we have
nettles, milkweed and elderberry. Most of these are host plants for other
pollinators, too.

Was at Myre-Big Island on Saturday and saw a hummingbird eating at the Creeping
Charlie. Can't say I've ever seen that before. Makes sense, but has anyone else
seen that happen? Is this another reason to leave it growing in my yard? Not
that I've ever seen them eating at the Creeping Charlie in
