2020

Migration continues this week and three species were added to our year list. At least two sandhill cranes are still hanging out on the Island.

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.
