Another New Property Bird

I realized very quickly today as I entered the woods that today would be the day of the Magnolia Warbler. They were everywhere! I was even treated to their song on numerous occasions. Unfortunately the mosquitoes were so bad that I didn't get to spend nearly as much time in the woods as I would have liked. But, it was a pretty good day even with the irritation of the mosquitoes! I added a new property bird - Golden-winged Warbler - #181! Actually, I saw two on separate occasions. One Kentucky Warbler was singing in the same location he was singing last week.

I'm a little surprised that I have not seen one tanager this spring. Normally I'll get both Scarlet and Summer, but none so far. I also haven't seen as many cuckoos. I wonder why.
