Progress

The great, annual, spring migration of Class Aves (neotropical section) has about washed over these parts.  Crumby was lucky at the CB to espy six species of warbler, apart from the wintering sort.  Also, the CB featured Baltimore oriole, great crested flycatcher, Bell's vireo, solitary vireo, plus assorted mute Empids.  Much better, overall, than the expectation forecast as the migration got underway. Alas though, Crumby missed the Chuck Will, settling for a mockingbird doing a Chuck Will.  Yet the most unforgettable image from this particular migration is of a road killed coot decomposing in the bike lane on Brodie across from the Lowe's.  Was it run down by a great vehicle or a mere bicycle?  Probably, we shall never know.  In any case, that deceased coot reminds Crumby of the general peril travel totes in these parts.  You never know!
Nevertheless, many hope that the paucity of sightings during this migration reflects on the progress Class Aves made toward arriving safely at summer homes.
