Another Crappy May Migration

 I really look forward to springtime migration through the yard but this year has continued the run of crappy years, 2023,2024 and now 2025. May 2022 was phenomenal, 19 species of warbler in one day and I photographed 12 of them. This year following reasonable overnight migration there have been plenty of birds in the early morning on some days, none of them stick around for me to photograph at the waterfall in the afternoons when the light is behind me. Last evening I gave it a go and an obliging Common Yellowthroat made it 3 warblers for the year 😞 The summer residents were frequent bathers and I did see a Warbling Vireo but it never dropped down where I could photograph it.
