Finally! The southward migration of songbirds is becoming more intense.
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 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.
