Really good day so far!

9 species of warblers that I was able to see and identify and two species of vireos one thrush pretty awesome! Also Cool was eight crows. Yesterday I had some tanagers along the des planes river and I’ve seen a baby cardinal, House sparrows, and Robin already so they did start early this year and it looks like they are finding enough food for them, I was worried because it seems like the bug population is suffering from these hot cold spells. Well maybe the food is the food I’m putting in the feeder! Definitely the bug population is probably 90% less than normal, last 2 years was about 70% less, rough estimates.
