Fallout
by Cindy ~ May 5th, 2008. Filed under: Avian, Michigan, Migrants, Music to my Ears, Spring.We’ve had a HUGE fallout of migrants today- among the 17 ‘new’ arrivals I’ve heard/seen so far arriving on strong south-westerly warm winds (the best for pushing birds northward) is my most favorite bird - our first male Ruby-throated hummingbird. He’s drinking nectar, I’m happy dancing.
Ahh, just heard an Ovenbird and dashed into the kitchen where I spotted a Black-throated Blue warbler on the same branch as an adult American Redstart.. both singing! that makes 19. The trees are just dripping with birds. Each one is just gorgeous, and they’re feeding, scolding, bathing and singing so loud, all at once. Auditory overload :)
