 It's nice to see a few migrants on their way north, joining the residents who live here year-round.  Seeing different birds each time out is what keeps things interesting.  Without that, I'd probably have to find a new hobby.  Some of our out of state birders have come from such faraway places as Washington, Virginia. Michigan and Florida.

 I think this Spring has been cooler than normal, which may have delayed migration a bit.  Still, a few new birds show up periodically to keep things interesting.  Recent human visitors include folks from New Mexico and Arkansas.
