Finally got the first big push of migrants through the yard in west Knox Co this morning (Sun, 20 April). With a little effort early in the morning before church and more effort afterwards and during lunch on the deck, I'm up to 40 species in the yard for the day, my best total so far this year... with some left that should be fairly easy to add still ... like grackle. For the heck of it, here's the list for today with first of season birds in ALL CAPS. Nice look at and listen to NASHVILLE WARBLER was a particular highlight.
