Hola Amigos! June is really the only month without migration, and although Im sure you are all out enjoying your breeders, lets take a minute to reflect on the glory of the Spring Migration you just witnessed. Here is Spring Migration, and emotional parody of Leonard Cohens Hallejuiah. Heres the link to the song (A famous cover by Jeff Buckley), in case you want to sing along. https://youtube/watch?v=y8AWFf7EAc4 I hear there is a time of year where warblers sing and the birders cheer from jersey all the way to california They come up from the warmer south to cross the land and feed their mouths to reach the breeding grounds on spring migration Spring Migration, Spring Migration, Spring Migration, Spring Migration. (CHORUS) Your lists were in real disrepair the winter had few birds to share but many birders cried across the nation and sure there were some snowy owls, some diving ducks and red crossbills but few compared to wealth of spring migration Chorus And birders all review their songs and pack away their warm long johns and instead pack a backpack full of bugspray. They watch the buds grow on the trees they see the flowers, see the bees, and tell their wives oh geez, its spring migration Chorus In Texas and the Florida keys flight notes fill the april breeze which flows right from the yucatan peninsula and birders cram along the shore and pray these birds will meet a storm and drop them on the beach, its spring migration Chorus And maybe theres a bird above thats really tricky, super tough to check off on your list, nemesis to ya A Kirtlands slipping through the droves A Swainsons on the Tortugas A Kentucky just flying on Spring Migration Chorus You say you want to see them all but for that youll have to wait til fall but theyll be brown and green and wont sing to us So get out on that woodland path From Cape May to that High Island and savor all the birds of Spring Migration Chorus I did my best to bird each morn Got lyme disease and my ears are worn and now all I hear are local breeders But I scored a male Blackburnian And I swear next year Ill be out again to witness the glory of Spring Migration Chorus (Repeat
