While recovering from my shoulder surgery, I have not been able to get out birding much at all during the month of May. But the good thing is that the birds in our yard have been very active, and I am normally able to pick up about twenty species or so each day from just sitting on our back porch for a while.
Here is my list from 5/10:
Mourning Dove 2

Date: 5/12/24 4:19 pm From: Don Gorney <in-bird-l...> Subject: [IN-BIRD-L] Ft. Harrison SP, 5/12 - Mourning and Connecticut warbler
The Sunday morning bird walk produced 63 species of birds at Ft. Harrison State Park, Indianapolis, on May 12. Highlights included Morning, Connecticut, Prothonotary, Prairie, and Cerulean warblers, Green Heron, and a nice variety of migrants and breeders. We were nearing the end of the walk and returning to Delaware Lake parking lot when I heard the Connecticut Warbler calling loudly from the NW corner of the parking lot. Everyone heard the bird but vegetation was too thick to see the bird. As we were waiting for the Connecticut to sing again or pop out into the open, a few of us heard the distinctive song of a Prairie Warbler from the west side of the parking lot. It only sang once so we did not get a visual.
There will be a bird walk each Sunday in May at Ft. Harrison. Meet at 8am at the Delaware Lake parking lot. The complete bird list is below. The list does not include some species I heard before the walk, such as Louisiana Waterthrush, Nashville Warbler, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and Yellow-breasted Chat. There have been two male chats at Walnut Plantation for the last 10 days or so. This is an area where the species has nested before.

A pretty average Big Day. We had 63 species each of the last two years. Again this year not a lot of warblers except Tennessee. Only one species of Vireos is uncommon. Yellow-bellied Flycatcher was the most un usual bird. My better boat is down so I didn't get as good a look at the lake itself except from shore.

populations of Mourning Warbler males during their spring migration. I am

to determine if and where birds with different song types (regiolects)
