We are finally out of the cold April weather we had this year and it is May! Warblers are starting to come through in large numbers and will peak around mid-May! Whether it is on one of our Sunday Morning Bird Walks, an event we are hosting, a field trip, or just birding around locally, I hope you have the chance to see some of the beautiful warblers and other migrants that pass through our area during this month!

Our Sunday Morning bird walks have continued through April, and we have seen around 40 species on each walk. Come out and join us anytime in May on Sundays at 7:30 am at Busey Woods!
