It’s so difficult to imagine that the big spring migration month of May has come and gone.  I hope my letter finds you all doing well, getting outside, enjoying nature, soaking up the sunshine, and finding both migratory birds and resident birds.  Despite the COVID-19 lockdown many of our members have been birding both in their back yards and in isolated areas.  Sightings of the following species were made during the month of May:  Blackburnian Warbler, Bay-breasted Warbler, Prairie Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler, American Redstarts, nesting Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, nesting Orchard Oriole, Scarlet Tanager, and Yellow-billed Cuckoo on Larry & Helen Lehman’s property.  Along Portico Road several Dickcissels and one Bobolink were seen and photographed.  There was a month-long visiting Long-tailed Duck at Greencastle Reservoir and just recently a visiting Snowy Egret.
