Yes heard the thrush for the first time last evening. Also have heard b-t green. For every year in memory a Chestnut–sided pair has nested adjacent to our garden and Yellow-throats by our pond. No sign of ‘em … also have had Mournings most recent years. No sign. As for passers thru— Nashvilles, Canadians, Magnolias, Blackpolls, etc.— nary a peep. It’s a strange feeling this season up here in the woods…we take down our feeders when the bears and raccoons become too much to cope with.

Yes, it seems very quiet on my hillside in Strafford as well. In addition to Ovenbirds, Yellow-rumpeds and Black-and-whites, I have seen a couple of Black-throated Blues and Nashvilles, heard a couple of Black-throated Greens. But no Chestnut-sideds or Yellowthroats, usually pretty abundant by now. Two singing Wood Thrushes this morning for the first time this season.

Here in the woods at 1,400¹ near Downer Forest in Sharon/South Strafford,
the Blue-headed vireo has been around for at least 2 weeks, but no
Red-eyeds. The Yellow-rumped warblers also maybe 2 weeks, several, as is
usual. And just this week, Ovenbirds galore. Highlight thus far is a
solitary Lincoln¹s sparrow. But overall it¹s very quiet for
early-to-mid-May. Very, especially with regard to the warblers ‹ by now
usually I¹ve seen several species. But except for the two above and an
occasionally audible Black & White, nada, niente, nothing. A bit weird.
