Looking for the Little Yellow Jobs
By Dave Coulter
The abnormally warm March that got the trees and flowers off to a fast start didn't seem to have quite the same effect on the spring bird migration. I have been keeping an eye on the IBET website for advance warnings on sightings. Not so many neo-trops just yet, but there were reports of Yellow Rumped Warblers and Kinglets in the vicinity this week. So, keep looking up - more of the winged jewels should be in the treetops soon. This excellent short video - Birding Warblers - prepared by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology should help get you in the mood.

I think that the ducks and other waterfowl are moving around pretty normally. Along with mallards lately I've seen grebes and loons. You're not an idiot - this spring has got everyone scratching their heads! It looks like May, but we're still in early April. Keep looking around...more of the migrating birds should be coming through soon! :)

Exactly my observations on the birds. I promised my grand daughter Lily that we would go to Columbus to feed the returning ducks, but so far--nothing! I'm not much of a nature observer, but if they leave in the fall, they have to come back in the spring. Right? I hope so, or Lily is going to think her papa is an idiot! I need your help on this one.
