I did go back to the same spot today, camera in hand, where I saw the
Blue-headed Vireo and Yellow-rumped Warblers yesterday but the woods were
void of migrants. I even tried a few recorded calls but drew nothing in.
Perhaps they were just passing through yesterday.

Now I await the arrival of Ovenbirds and Veerys whose calls will soon fill
the woods every evening until sunset for the summer. They are being
reported the New England states now.

My Eastern Wood Peewee pair didn't arrive until June 2nd last year but did
stay the summer.

Exciting times coming up - may they all arrive safely.

<p class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"margin-left:40.8pt">They are common by May =
but while April 24 is not unprecedented it is definitely early for Blue-hea=

<p class=3D"MsoNormal" style=3D"margin-left:40.8pt">Had a Blue-headed Vireo=

y 17, 2014 and a pair on May 08, 2016. It
 must have been the relatively early date that sent up the alert.<u></u><u>=
