The peak of migration is past, but that does not mean it is over.

The middle of May has come and gone and migration is at or near its peak.

This year’s northward migration is peaking now, but it continues to be about the return of our nesting birds rather than migrants moving through as they head to their more distant nesting grounds.

It is already May and warblers are still few and far between.

We have had our share of bad weather in April.

To say that the arrival of ruby-throated hummingbirds is eagerly anticipated is an understatement.

Thirty or more years ago snowy egrets were more abundant than great egrets, but things change in nature over time.

We drive by a pond many times a week, and decades pass without seeing anything other than mallards, Canada geese and crows.

It is hard to believe that by the time you read this it will be April.

Adult bald eagles are near the top of most birders wish lists.
