On May 4 in 2012, 14 species of warbler and over 20 red-eyed vireos at Wheaton Regional Park -- and that was after a late arrival at the park due to road works. In 2012, again after a late start, 11 species of warbler and 10 red-eyes, plus FOS pewee and veery. And WRP is not as good a place in spring as it is in autumn for some reason. Yesterday we had 3 species of warbler (two of them local breeders) and no red-eyes.

I had my FOY Wood Thrush just today (heard only), and 2 Common Loons flying over, as well as a male Kestrel the past two days, but otherwise still very quiet. Orioles are usually back in numbers by now, but so far only one of each. No warblers or vireos here yet either. Maybe this weekend things will change...
