I went for a walk this morning in my trail, saw about two dozen warblers. Many of them are Nashville, and I believe I heard Yellow as well. I followed several grosbeaks for a while and got some shot of them feeding. Little did I know that 6 of them followed me home to my feeder. 5 males and 1 female. 1 guy (the one on the ground) even tried to fly in, and I was shocked so missed the perfect shot of him with the wings fully open at my glass door.

I'd say you had a good day. Followed you home, eh?
Haven't seen one yet this year. In fact, a walk in the
Rouge was so quiet as to be depressing. Not even a
Robin. Could hear Song sparrow and RWBB in the distance
but nothing flushed or moved anywhere, except a pair
of Hooded Merganser that cruised by.

Oh wow; Rose-breasted Grosbeak at the backyard feeder, that's something. All I get in my feeders are tons of House Sparrow. They were away all winter and now returned with full force.
Shortsighted, I read that Rouge Beach Park was closed from flooding - is it open now?

Dinu, the Rouge is a big place. I haven't been down to Rouge Beach park recently
so that might be flooded because it has been before. At that time the entire
parking lot was under water. The Beare wetland can't be flooded and Amos woods
is always flooded ... sort of like a swamp. That's where I was and it was dead.
