[birding] Orange-crowned Warblers arrive

[Paula Vanderheul]

I have had Orange-crowned warbler coming to my suet feeder on April 2 and 
3rd.
On March 22 while working at Audubon's Nature Center on Oak Creek Dr, an 
Orange-crowned Warbler was singing in the forest canopy.
Today I heard one singing around the open meadow of the Nature Center.
