On April 28 yellow-rumped warblers showed up in numbers in this neck of the woods. Lots
started to call on territory. Up until now they had been absent when I was out birding. I
even had one at the suet yesterday.

Yes those and Ruby-crowned Kinglets are really filling the airwaves now. I had my first
Broad-winged Hawk here in E Dalhousie, Kings, as well today. The piercing p-teeeee was
picked up load and clear on an AudioMoth. The Spring Peepers are obliterating all evening
and night recordings anywhere near water at the moment.

It's interesting to hear of when the warblers get around throughout the
province.
I heard a first yellow-rump last Wednesday, April 21st behind MTRI
(actually at the local firing range). There were just one or two there,
and they had not been present on the prior day. It is always a delight
to hear them return. I have not heard any yet in my woodlot in Tupperville.
After several years of not hearing Ruby-crowned kinglets at the firing
range location (they were always present there in earlier years from
~2009-2014), the species was once again singing in an adjacent spruce
wetland. Just like old times! If I fool myself just a bit, I can think
things have returned to 'normal'. The locations was full of palm
warblers, and a few Hermit thrushes.
Oh yes, and I managed to pass my firearms re-qualifications again- in
between these observations. Lots of destractions, with wood frogs still
cackling occasionally in the lowlands next to the range. They can
affect a final score. I am blaming them.
