Hard to believe it's 9 May with so few migrants! Based on eBird reports, it appears they're stacked up just to our south - unfortunately, close enough to us to easily migrate overnight to southern MN. Come on pre-dawn thunderstorms!!

It was a beautiful morning along the Kaw - still not very birdy however. Its supposed to warm up tomorrow & winds shift to a southerly direction tomorrow night for days with warm temps. Migration through this little spot has been late and slow. Perhaps we will get more activity and perhaps even a fallout if they don't fly over in the next few days.
Eastern Wood Pewee - 1 FOS singing in woods near the start of the river trail
Baltimore Orioles (22) song echoed everywhere - Great-crested Flycatchers and Warbling Vireos were also abundant
I saw very little warbler movement and heard little song Blackpoll Warbler - 1 Likely Yellow Warbler - heard notes but no song
Swainson's Thrush - 3 just heard whit notes Red-eyed Vireo - 2 Fish Crow- 1 Summer Tanager - 3 singing at different points along river trail
Still no Cliff Swallow Colony at the mass bride - a few Cliff Swallows were at south end t the park but there has been no action at the nest sights. Saw no swallows over the river north of dam
