Spring migrants

[Markit]

Have you all been seen many spring migrants? Warblers exc?

I'm as anxious as you are but I think it's a bit early for most migrants, especially warblers. Warblers don't typically get to this area til late April or early May. The only other migrants I've seen around here are geese, robins, grackles red wing blackbirds and a northern flicker. The robins and grackles were about a week earlier this year than last year and the mourning doves didn't show up in my yard til April 3rd last year. I use the online google calendar to keep track. It's pretty handy for that.
