While sitting on our upstairs deck drinking coffee this morning, we
saw many (at least 6 or 8) yellow-rumped warblers and the first empidonax
flycatcher of the season.  The empid wasn't singing - if we had to call it,
we'd say it was a least.  Seemed to have a very complete eye ring; certainly
wasn't yellow-bellied.
        We put the purple martin gourds up by the pond yesterday, and all
sorts of tree swallows were checking them out.  We never get martins.  All
of this, plus a lot of phoebes, goldfinch, and chipping sparrows.  A great
time of the year.
