Many people have noted that the secondary migration is a bit late this year, like the warm weather itself. But finally it looks as if the warblers have begun to pass through. It would be a bit much to say the trees by the Mystic were lousy with them, but I did see a certain number this morning -- a yellow warbler, a palm warbler, and a small flock of yellow-rumped warblers, like the one above.
But in my yard, still nothing. No sign of the catbirds, no chimney swifts. I hope they show up before I begin to worry.
