Spring migration

We are starting to see and hear the neo-tropical birds which have made the journey from Mexico, Central America and other southerly places to northern Wisconsin. This week I have heard:
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Palm Warbler
Black and White Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Black-throated green Warbler
Ovenbird
White-throated sparrow
Chipping Sparrow
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Northern Oriole
Ruby-throated Hummingbird

The first-ever Chequamegon Bay Birding & Nature Festival is this coming weekend (May 18-20). There are hundreds of field trips and talks. The birding should be excellent!
