Slow Migration~ Carthage, NC

I hope you are all having a wonderful spring.

Seems like places up north are still buried in snow.

Its been an odd spring here as well…much cooler than normal. More rain.

Less migrants..

This is what it looked like last year..

I really miss the Rose-breasted Grosbeak and hope to see them before we leave NC on Friday.

 

I will check up on the Black Vulture a few more times before we leave to see if her eggs have hatched.
