This is a reminder that the Columbia Audubon Society is holding a social event on Wednesday May 7 that doubles as a planning session for Saturday’s Global Big Day. RSVP is not required, but my sense from the few responses that we have received so far is that we could use more birders with experience to serve as mentors. Therefore, we’re reaching out again in hopes that MOBIRDS readers will consider attending!

Details of the May 7 event are here: https://www.columbia-audubon.org/birding-big-day-planning-2025/
And here’s a newsletter article about the plan: https://www.columbia-audubon.org/a-new-columbia-audubon-society-tradition-for-birding-big-day/

Today’s warbler report from Chert Hollow: Two FOY long-distance migrants, Magnolia and Blackpoll, plus a second-of-year Black-throated Green. And Nashvilles, of course (though Tennessees have been oddly sparse). Plus the usual common residents: Parula, Louisiana Waterthrush, Kentucky. And a Common Yellowthroat (used to nest regularly at our place, but not in the past few years). And very likely heard a Prairie.

Happy May!
