Hey You

Inviting all readers to suggest a time and place for a birding-by-BIKE trip this Sunday, that's May 22nd, in Madison. Very very interesting today was the apparent lack of warblers after a single night of calm...that is, no wind after days on end of north or north-east blows. I'm guessing that there will be another "slug" of migrating warblers in the next week; south winds could bring in a new bunch, as well as "clear the decks" of the old hangers-on. Today: a Cuckoo, an unsettled Alder Flycatcher, a few warblers (Bay-breasteds dominating the non-breeders) and the first fledgling GRACKLE that I've seen thus far. Saturday: supposedly rainy, so no planned trips.
Sunday?
