Spring Migration has been CRAZY this year.
I think all the cold weather in California and Oregon & Washington caused birds to delay and delay and delay.

Then - whoosh!  Here they all are - all at once!

American Goldfinches

The highly uncommon (for me anyway) Common Yellowthroat Warbler.

He's great at lurking...

...and hiding!

And speaking of lurking!  Can you see the Wilson's Warbler?

And to continue the theme - here's a Warbling Vireo!

A tough bird to photograph.

I was pretty pleased with the shots I got.

But this literally and figuratively is the Top Bird thus far.

The amazing Bullock's Oriole.

The male is brightly colored... 

...and has an amazing song as well.
I can't say it enough, this has been a great spring migration.

Sweet May piece! What a wonderful assortment of yellow birds you shared, Beth! We have noticed the Goldfinches coloring is brightening up.
