Hey, all.

I need to revisit my statement from earlier tonight that the Swainson thrush flight this Tues. evening, June 3, isn't East Coast–like in its intensity. Because right now (11:35pm MDT) it's like that. I'm hearing 5+ flight calls per minute. If you're an insomniac or for whatever other reason awake right now, go outside and listen. It's really something.

It's not lost on me that it's cool that the strongest spring night flight I've heard in quite some time here in Lafayette is happening well into the first week of June. Migration isn't over.
