The first hummers appeared on the evening of May 11th, have seen two males and one female since then.  On May 12th, the first male rose-breasted grosbeak, this morning four of them visible at once.  Lots of goldfinches and purple finches around, today the first spotted sandpiper at the pond.  Ovenbirds singing in the woods.

Happy birding in the rain,
Pat Folsom
