Hi all,

   Got out some this morning, and was surprised to hear so many Swainson's Thrushes!  Everywhere I went they sang from the trees.  I guess if conditions are right, they will move in the evening.  Saw a couple of Wood Thrushes, mostly quiet and foraging in the leaf litter. 
Had a Baltimore Oriole singing an intro to it's song that reminded me of Lady Gaga...
