Thrushes Return

I know I mentioned that migration was upon us but, to me, it really gets going once the Thrushes start arriving.
Today at Wekiva we got our first Veery.



They arrive first and then come the Swainson's, Grey-cheeked, and Wood Thrushes. A welcome sight.

Also, we had a few more migrating Warblers. Leading the charge was a gorgeous female American Redstart.



Next up was a Northern Waterthrush. Not a Thrush at all, despite the name.



Finally, we are still seeing a large number of Prairie Warblers. Prairies are one of the earliest migrants to kick off the season.



Things begin to heat up now. Weather thinks about cooling down, too. We hope. Very humid mornings still in the scrub.
